Figure This! is a project funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Education that gives middle school students an exciting way to learn about math. In all, there are 80 "challenges" that stimulate mathematical reasoning with real-world scenarios. Each challenge starts with a description of the problem that incorporates suitably-named animated characters. A hint is also given, and the solution can be viewed separately. The Family Corner has some brochures that can help family members get involved in the child's education. Figure This! has won over a dozen Internet awards for its content.
