MathFROG is from the University of Waterloo, "a website of free mathematics - Fun Resources and Online Games for grades 4, 5, and 6 students, teachers and parents".
Wikipedia - my favorite reference tool these days. In addition to the main Wikipedia it also has spawned projects including:
- Wikibooks - "a Wikimedia project that was started on July 10, 2003 with the mission to create a free collection of open-content textbooks that anyone can edit. Since our founding, volunteers have written about 27,029 modules in a multitude of textbooks."
- Wikijunior - "The aim of Wikijunior is to produce non-fiction books for children from birth to age twelve. These books could take the form of macropedias, textbooks or primers. Wikijunior is a source of books for children written by an international community of volunteers." One of my favorite books is Animal Alphabet - the photographs are amazing, and I'm glad I can finally answer "Mommy, what animal starts with an X?".
