1. The Wall Street Journal	Finding Online Homework Help for Kids Peggy Edersheim Kalb Oct. 25, 2007		Peggy Edersheim Kalb and a sixth-grade tester identify some top math help sites and test them according to how useful they are in answering a specific geometry problem. While the author doesn't assign scores or rank the sites, she does describe the pros and cons of each. Math Forum, the Beehive, Coolmath, TutorVista and Any Time Tutor are all covered here, each with a balanced assessment of their strengths and weaknesses.

Homework Help Sites Reviews above this line are significantly better than reviews below.

2. Top Ten Reviews.com	2008 Homework Help Sites Editors of TopTenReviews.com Not Dated		Top Ten Reviews rates entertainment and computer-related products including 14 homework help sites. While it misses some of the top homework help sites like B.J. Pinchbeck and The Math Forum, it does include a comparison chart along with ratings and a detailed analysis of each site's pros and cons. Cosmeo gets the top spot here, with Tutor.com coming in second to last. Although this article bears a recent date, this website has a troubling habit of merely changing review dates without updating its content, so it's hard to tell exactly when these reviews were written.
3. Good Housekeeping.com >> Details/Subscribe	The Latest Styles, and Tools, for School Editors of Good Housekeeping Not Dated		Good Housekeeping lists what they call "the most useful (and kid-friendly) sites on the Internet" including Homework Central and Ask Dr. Math. Each site, except Ask Dr. Math, is tested according to how well it helps answer the question "Where can I get information about the Revolutionary War General Horatio Gates?" While sites aren't ranked or compared directly, the short reviews include negatives as well as positives.
4. Education World	Homework Help Editors of Education World.com As of Jan. 2008		The editors here offer individual reviews, grading each site for content, aesthetics, organization and overall usefulness. While the reviews are detailed, they don't consider criteria such as credentials or accuracy. The appropriate age group is specified in each write-up; most other sources don't include this important bit of information. However, some of the reviews are very outdated.
5. Common Sense Media.org	CSM Reviews Editors of Common Sense Media.org As of Jan. 2008		Common Sense Media has reviews of a few homework help sites including FactMonster, B.J. Pinchbeck and KidsClick! While the reviews themselves are general and positive, each does include a chart rating how well each site does in a number of areas including content, message, educational value and commercialism. Sites are also given star ratings out of five, but these too are generally high and not critical.

6. Berit's Best Sites for Children	Berit's Best Sites for Children Berit Erickson As of Jan. 2008		Berit's Best Sites for Children posts brief, non-comparative reviews with ratings based on content, organization and ease of use; the author also includes criteria such as appearance and download time, and only lists sites that are free and get high ratings. Some of these include KidsClick!, A+ Math and B.J. Pinchbeck. Several subject-specific sites are also included, making this site especially informative, but reviews don't appear to have been updated in years.
7. MultiMedia & Internet@Schools >> Details/Subscribe	Cosmeo Susan Hixson July 1, 2006		While most of the reviews of homework help sites here are basic one or two sentence descriptions, Susan Hixson's discussion of Cosmeo goes into greater depth. She rates the service on installation, features, content and ease of use. Cosmeo isn't compared to other homework help sites, though, and the review is overwhelmingly positive with no discussion of negatives.
8. Teach42.com	I Cosmeo, I Can Steve Dembo and Contributors to Teach42 Not Dated		While Steve Dembo's very brief review of Cosmeo is general and positive, the comments posted below it are a good sample of people's mixed reactions to Cosmeo. Users say it provides good content and excellent math help, but some say they find the company's marketing practices less than admirable.
9. Yahoo! Tech	Hand-on Review: Cosmeo, the YouTube of Homework Help Robin Raskin Oct. 19, 2006		Robin Raskin's article on Cosmeo provides a good overview of Cosmeo's highlights, including features and pricing. While she doesn't discuss negatives, there is enough description here to make the review somewhat helpful.
10. Epinions	Tutor Online – Tutor.com Contributors to Epinions As of Jan. 2008		Epinions is a website where users can post opinions of products they've used. The two short reviews of Tutor.com here give a limited amount of insight into some of site's negatives, including tutors who can't answer more difficult questions.
