As a new feature I am adding to my site, at the end of every month I am going to review my traffic data and then present my most popular posts.  In case anyone misses the posts on their original publications dates and then falls behind on my blog, this will now give them another chance to see the articles that the most readers are talking about.  So, without further ado, here are my top 5 most popular posts for the month of January 2013.

1. 20+ Free Math Worksheet Sites for Teachers.  A great resource that contains links to several different websites that offer high quality math worksheets for free.  You can print these practice sheets and use them in class or at home to study.  These are all high quality sites, and I recommend checking them out for your worksheet needs.
