Basic Multiplication Times Square This game provides great practice with multiplication facts as players race to be the first to get 4 products in a row on the game board.
Factor Dazzle Players score points for finding all the factors of target numbers set by their opponents.
Table Numbers The player chooses a factor between 2 and 9. He or she is then presented with 3 different numbers, and has to choose the one that is a multiple of the chosen factor. Good visuals; good practice.
Two Minute Warning The player has 2 minutes to answer as many multiplication problems as he or she can. At the end of the game, the computer will show how many correct and incorrect answers the player got.
Pumpkin Multiples The player races to collect multiples of a number. Before your child starts playing, talk about how you can tell if a number is a multiple of the number he or she selected. At the end of the game, the computer will show the multiples: talk with your child about any patterns he or she sees in those numbers. What do the multiples have in common?
Basic Division Timed Flashcards The player recalls 30 basic division facts. You’ll need to click on a few links to get to the flashcards. There are also links on this page to basic multiplication facts, and more advanced multiplication and division combinations.
Order of Operations & All Basic Facts Make 24 The player uses four numbers and all operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to make 24.
All Basic Facts Number Factory In this engaging, puzzle-like activity, the player is challenged to add, subtract, multiply and/or divide a set of 4 numbers to come as close as possible to a target number.
Quick Math The player must select the operational symbol (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) that will make the equation true. All equations are based on basic facts. After your child has played a few times, talk about some quick ways to tell which operation will complete the equation. Your child might be using strategies that don’t involve doing all the calculations, and that is fine: the strategies probably rely on a strong sense of number and operations.
Fractions Dig It Players take turns digging in a field loaded with precious stones. The object is to collect as much dirt and as many stones as possible. Players tell the shovel where to dig by using a set of numbers to make a fraction, and then locating that fraction on a number line that runs across the field. The more accurately they locate the fraction, the better their score.
Fraction Feud Players use number "cards" to create fractions that are larger (or smaller) than their opponents' in a series of mock jousts.
Drop Zone Players add fractions that will total 1 as they race to win 5 points in this action-packed game. Develops fraction sense, estimation, and skill at adding fractions with like and unlike denominators. A winner!
Adding Fractions This activity challenges students to use pictures to help add fractions with unlike denominators.
Geometry Geometry Transformations A cartoon host invites players to move shapes in a sequence of steps intended to review translation, rotation, and reflection. (Sept. Calendar Grid)
TranStar Reflect, rotate and translate in order to move a shape through outer space.(Sept. Calendar Grid)
Money: Subtraction with Decimal Numbers Making Change The player finds the difference between a price and the amount of money paid. Then the player shows that change using the fewest coins and bills possible. Talk to your child about some ways to calculate the amount of change mentally. For example, can he or she add up from the price to the amount paid to figure the difference?
Angle Measurement Mini-Golf In this engaging electronic version of billiards, the player attempts to make a hole in one by hitting it at the correct angle.
Slam Ball Players take turns slamming a ball off the sides of a game board to collect points by hitting tokens along the way. Each player gets 6 turns, and each time, the ball can be angled up or down before being launched to move along the most optimal path.
Alien Angles The player positions a ray to estimate different angles in order to rescue lost space aliens.
Symmetry neXtu Players place shapes on a tessellating game board, collecting points and capturing opponent's pieces.
