Math Cats' first birthday
1/7/01

I love your website. I teach an accelerated math class in 2nd grade so I'm always looking for new ideas and websites to use with my class. I can't wait to show them your site.
Keep up the good work.

Also I love cats. I have 4 of my own so your site is purrfect!!!!!

Sincerely,
Gina L.

Thanks for your great site and Newsletter. We are just commencing our school year here in Australia. I have Year 8 and Year 10 Maths classes. I am hoping to use your site for at least one of those classes as an enrichment activity...

MATH CATS

aaaa [highest rating]

Math Cats injects some fun into kids' math studies with puzzles, interactive projects, contests and printable activities that offer entertaining ways to explore a sometimes intimidating subject. You'll need to download the free Micro- Worlds plug-in for the projects, which cover everything from using money to multiplication. Before downloading, you can see descriptions and screenshots of the programs. A "magic" chalkboard poses math-related questions that will likely stump even the most math-proficient parents.

Bottom line: Learning math is fun at this highly interactive site.

What a terrific program you've started. I've really enjoyed reading and exploring it today. I have a wonderful 6 year old son who, thankfully did not take after me in the math department, is remarkable when it comes to math and spatial problem solving skills. I will show him this web site this evening and plan on integrating it into our learning together. Again, thank you.

Hi there!

I stumbled onto your mathcats.com attic page and thought it was marvelous!!! I am a teacher (full time high school and part time college) in California and have made a page which asks some of the questions from your page. I provided a link for the students to go to your site to get the answers...

Wendy, I've found your site via the Logo Forum. Stunning. Truly Me-WOW.

I'm a teacher in the UK and am always on the lookout for sites which I or pupils can use. Your site is out of this world. The school to which I have just moved doesn't yet have much in the way of Logo or Internet access for pupils - but in the past I have made a LOT of use of the equally wonderful (and free) MSWLogo. I'm attaching a .jpg file of 3 turtles which I drew as exemplars for my pupils. They may be of interest to anyone who wants to use Logo to create their own turtles. I'll keep revisiting your site to watch it grow - and to grab ideas.

Hello, Mathcats!

I'm new to your site, and I'd like to know if you could introduce infinity to me. I'm looking forward to it. I think your site is great! GREAT! I beg you to bring up some fractals, like the Mandelbrot Set (whatever that is)!

Your best pal,

[Prime Cat replied that we'll try to add those projects soon.]

Hi. I really like your website. At first, I dreaded math, but now I can remember some more multiplication tables! I love this website! Mathcats.com is on my favorites list!

I did poke around your site and in love. I am creating a site for an after school program for middle-grade students and was looking for links. I think my goals are much like yours, to create open-ended questions, to stir multiply intelligences and to make math fun. If more games were added for students in grades 6, 7 and 8, then that would be too good to be true. If I can have permission to link to your site, that would be great.

Alicia

4/26/01

I just discovered your wonderful site. I am presently sharing it with my gifted fifth graders and other teachers at our school. All of us who adore cats are especially thrilled. It is very attractive and inviting! Thank you and keep up the good work. I don't know how you have the time. I have two young kids, husband, and work. I have NO time!! It is wonderful to discover such a resource!

Dear Mathcats,

Your computer math games are the best on the internet. I like the attic the best because you can quiz yourself and find out neat answers. I really like the name of your website because I like cats. I know someone that would really like your website.

Hello,

I think your website is wonderful. I will suggest this to my students. I am a high school mathematics teacher who has written a book on math anxiety. My book is entitled Math Attack: How to Reduce Math Anxiety in the Classroom, at Work and in Everyday Personal Use. Boredom is one area I do discuss in my book. Math must be made fun... I wish you much continued success.

Hi

I'm adding your Mathcats page to the 6th ed of my book, which will be out in Oct 2001 if all goes well. Only the top sites make it into this book as I am very picky! I don't know if you do awards or not, but you get the "Net-mom Approved" slice o' pie...

Congratulations!

Folding Decahedron Pattern

My son had a book report to do in 5th Grade tonight. He was supposed to write ten facts from the book (an information book about computers), and create some object that had something to do with the book. I thought that a decahedron would be just the thing to be his object and to write the ten facts on. I was so pleased to find your site right away with exactly the thing that I needed: instructions for a folding form. Thank you for providing this information. It was easy to use and fun to make and will be just the thing for a book report on computers, since we got the information off the internet. Thanks again.

Congratulations from the land down under!

I found your site via kidsclick.com and the combination of maths and cats was too good to resist. Your site has to be the best site for children who dislike maths but willingly participate and learn along the way. My 9 year old daughter is thrilled with this site after some of the "in your face" boring and regimented sites we have come across and I like the fact that it is universally adaptable so our little "Aussies" here in Sydney can have the same fun as their American counterparts. Keep up the wonderful work and I will spread the news about your site. G'day and thanks!!

Math Cats received some lovely messages in honor of Math Cats' first birthday:

_________________

Our 10 and 11-year old love your site. I also recommended it as a "must see and do" in my Interactive Math Web Sites that I did for the parents and teachers of the Catholic school our kids attend.

Our cats are named Squirts and Spazo so I appreciate the name of your cat, Fatso.

Thanks for providing a tremendous learning experience.

Why not have a game where you have to use co-ordinates to draw cats

From Gem in the u.k
- - - - - -
Reply [after updating the site in response to message], 10/13/01:

Hi... I wanted you to be the first to know that I've added a coordinate project to Math Cats, inspired by your suggestion. It is not a game, but you print out a grid and a chart of coordinates for drawing a math cat. There are 2 types of grids and 2 cats at the moment... I'll try to add more soon.
The project is in the Explore section, called "Make Your Own Math Cat."
I hope you try the activity and let me know what you think!

Hi I am Gem. I sent in an idea for a co-ordinates game. I have just been on the website and I saw the game. Thanx! Shame you cant do the co-ordinates on the website though!

thanx again Gem.

Dear MathCats,

I love your website. I just found this site and I like it already. I like all your math games on here. I think I will get on this website more offten. You know why be cause I need to learn alot about hard subtraction. But I haven't found a game on learning things about hard subtaction. I really hope you cats get a website about hard subtaction facts. I need to practic for my mad minutes or I won`t pass it. I didn`t last week.

Your website is so cool! It makes learning math so easy. Before I got some bad grades like 70 and 75. I hope I get good ones. I'm going to go here alot. You have some great ideas! My name is Aaron. I am turning 9 soon. I'm in 4th grade in Florida. I'm in the gifted program mostly getting straight A's.

I found your site when looking for polyhedra. I'm a polyhedronist that constructs polyhedra with paper.

I bookmarked this page so I can use it with my grandson.

You or some of your homeschool people may be interested in a polyhedra program that prints out the nets for polyhedra. Here is the site: http://home.connexus.net.au/~robandfi/Stella.html

Richard S.

10/29/01

Compliment and Thanks

This is Aaron again. Your other games are so cool. I tried out haunted hill and tessiltown. I love figuring out those exciting puzzles & shapes. I also sent my results from haunted hill 2 times in case you haven't gotten them. Thanks for writing me, no one has written me in a long time. I have a new game idea for the website, it's math memory. You try to match the math facts with the answers, a real cool game... Happy Halloween and season's gretings! I send my regards to you. Almost bedtime. On my latest math test I got a 95% grade and I owe it all to you. This website taught me alot about math I didn't know. Thanks again!

sincerely,
Aaron K.

There's a great site that explains more than one way to explain & demonstrate maths stuff.

http://www.mathcats.com has a section for kids, but also one for adults to learn how to teach it. I really liked some of their more concrete ways.

[after a reply from Math Cats]

Wendy,

Welcome to our site - I hope you will visit often. As you may have gathered, most people here are parents or teachers of students with predominantly visual-spatial learning styles. Numbers and formulas are meaningless.

I'm the webmaster of this site, and also our companion site, www.dyslexia.com. I'm hoping to build a math section of our dyslexia site soon. When I first came up with this idea, I thought it would be great to have a lot of tools and games like the ones on your site, but realized that it would take a LOT of work to create it. Now I just plan to put up a good page with links to sites like yours -- you've done such great work I could never begin to replicate it.

I was really impressed with your site. Don't be surprised if you start seeing a lot of hits coming from this direction.

Best wishes from a fellow webmaster, who fully appreciates the hours and hours of work your site must represent,

Abigail

WENDY: I AM SOOOOOOO IMPRESSED! I am going to recommend your site to David's teacher...I have bookmarked it and plan to go there OFTEN...just a few minutes with the bulletin board and I was hooked, have not even downloaded the plugin or tried any activities, David will LOVE them...have signed up for your newsletter and appreciate SO MUCH your efforts in sharing your passion and skill with the world. What a wonderful way to share your teaching skills!

I was a kid who struggled with math. In retrospect, this was partly because I was always a year behind my peer group chronologically (skipped a grade since I was a gifted reader and very verbally mature in 1st grade) and also partly because I never 'engaged' with math. (and perhaps a certain degree of 'dysteachia'!)

Your site not only excites me, but I'm beginning to look forward to 'doing math' over again with my son. I didn't learn to do arithmetic in my head until I had a job calculating punch cards in my early twenties...perhaps I may one day conquer functions and relations, too????

MUCH LOVE...

Dear mathcats, I loved your site, so much and I don't like websites. It is a fun way for me to learn. My whole class went on your site. I think it should be known as the best website in the world. I will involve my friends on it.

Good Morning- I am a middle school math teacher taking a computer class and creating a unit on polygons. As part of the class we had to create our own website and I would like permission to create a link from this website to yours. I have shown my students your website and they are really enjoying it! Thank you!

I like your web page. I have a question, how do you make art to put in the gallery??? please anser back!

Reply, 11/26/01:

There are many ways to make art to put in the gallery. You can use any of these activities:

in the Explore section:
Polygon Playground
Encyclogram
Exploding Math Art

in the MicroWorlds section:
symmetry
spider web
pattern blocks
polygon maker
turtlechase
draw dots
Yehuda's Robe

After you create art with one of these projects, you can take a screenshot (on a PC, hit the PrtSc key. On a Mac, hold Apple-Shift-3, I think). On a PC, then you can open a program like Paint (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Paint) and paste your picture there (CTRL-V). It doesn't matter if there is extra stuff around the picture. I can clear that away later.

Then you need to save the file and send it as an attachment to an e-mail message. You can send it to me at this address:

primecat@mathcats.com

Then when I receive your art, I will put it in the Math Cats Art Gallery.
Please ask an adult to help you with these steps if it seems too hard!
I will look forward to seeing your math art.

Always a pleasure to read your newsletter. Congratulations on your recent awards -- NCTM was certainly doing outstanding work when I was a teacher, so I would think that one would be especially gratifying.
