Un site de France pour l'enseignement des mathématiques, avec des leçons (cours), exercices (avec correction), et exercices répétitifs de calcul mental. Plusieurs fichiers sont disponibles aussi en format PDF.
« Tout élève qui souhaite s'entraîner peut trouver dans ce site des exercices corrigés correspondants à sa classe.
Les niveaux 6e, 5e, 4e et 3e couvrent l'ensemble du programme. Il n'y a ni compétition ni enjeu. Une solution est disponible à tout moment. Ce n'est le plus souvent qu'une solution parmi d'autres.
*Sauf indication contraire, il faut donner la réponse des exercices interactifs, s'il s'agit d'un nombre décimal, avec une virgule. Dans les exercices répétitifs, les nombres sont générés par l'ordinateur, il faut écrire les décimaux avec un point à la place de la virgule.*
Les exercices et les résumés de cours sont signalés de la façon suivante :
-Un résumé du cours : En géométrie, les images mobiles ou les animations flash permettent de visualiser les notions abordées.
-Exercice corrigé : Des exercices pour s'entraîner, avec les corrections disponibles à tout moment. Mais d'abord il faut chercher ...
-Exercice interactif corrigé: On peut répondre directement sur l'ordinateur, mais une feuille de papier et un crayon sont le plus souvent nécessaires pour faire l'exercice entièrement.
-Exercice répétitif : calcul mental : Entraînement au calcul mental sur les techniques basiques à acquérir en mathématiques.
Attention : il faut toujours commencer l'exercice par "recommencer' ou "nouveau calcul" , l'exercice affiché à l'écran n'est qu'un exemple. Il n'est pas à tester ! »

Cognitive science — the study of thought, learning and mental organization — tells us a lot about getting students primed to succeed on tests.
This resource outlines some practices that can help as you approach tests — and even on the day of the test:
1. Use retrieval to lock learning in long-term.
2. Mix up question types with interleaving.
3. Instead of cramming, space out practice.
4. Happiness is powerful.
5. Time of day matters.
6. Soak up the sun.
7. Breaks are essential.
8. Get up and move, move, move.
