A Little Help With Math




Math is one of those subjects that I am always trying to make more 'fun'.  Perhaps it stems from my deep, abiding hatred of math.  Okay, maybe not hatred.  Loathing? Anyway, as  kid I had terrible math anxiety. 

Here are some links I have come across that have made math a little more fun.


https://www.xtramath.org/

Xtra Math is a free website that aids in mathmatical fluency.  My daughter is in the 4th grade and honestly needs a little extra practice where math is concerned.  My son grasps math well, but improving speed is always a good thing...right?  Both children have enjoyed to speed drills and the 'race the teacher' games on this site.

MathMagician (  http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/Mathmagician/mathsmulti.html ) helps with multiplication tables.

Math Playground (  http://www.mathplayground.com/  ) has games that extend into middle school.  It includes logic problems and word problems and algebra, oh my!

Edheads ( http://edheads.org/index.shtml )  focuses on science, math and logic.  Good stuff.

Manga High ( http://www.mangahigh.com/en_us/games/ )
Number Nut  (  http://www.numbernut.com/  )
Arcademics  ( http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com/  )

These 'round out' the list.

How about you?  Are there any cool online math sites that you use for your students?
