In case you haven’t heard, World Maths Day this year is scheduled for March 4th. So I thought I’d share a couple of math sites that I hope will help students when “training” for this very important competition! And as an added plus each of these math activities also work wonderfully with the SMARTBoard!
The first is math flash application that reviews/reinforces multiplication and division, doubles, halves, etc. There is a very nice variety of skill reinforcement opportunities with this application. Simply select the activity you want to use, It is called Hit The Button.
The next game is from 4L Puzzle Plus and reinforces multiplication and division. This game is so cool! It is designed much like a slot machine- an equation appears on the screen and students need to type in the correct answer using the onscreen calculator.
If you’re looking for a website to review/supplement basic addition skills check out Harcourt School Publishers Adding Bricks. Two construction workers literally drop bricks from their wheelbarrows and students count/add the bricks and type the answers in the answer box. A fun way to reinforce basic addition.
Found an awesome site from Saxon Math that reviews coin values (2nd grade). Students are asked to calculate the value of the coins in the box at the top of the page and then click on the correct answer from the answer field of three. There is a score box that summarizes the session (10 questions).
Hope these games/activities help your students get in tip top shape for World Maths Day 2009! ENJOY!
