Fun ways to practice math skills
If you're like me, you might recall math class with horror. All of that mindless memorization, skill-and-drill, timed tests.... Yikes! Luckily, today's kids have it so much better off. Here are a couple of fun ways they can practice their math skills:
First In Math
You're probably tired of hearing about this program by now, but it really is a great way for students to practice their math facts and other math skills. They love earning those virtual stickers! Just let me or your Instructional Supervisor know if you would like to enroll your student in First In Math.
Math Playground
This free website has a wide variety of math games that are sure to appeal to your student. Math Man, Meteor Multiplication-- there are games for every level of student, all the way through algebra.
IXL
This is another free website that has a plethora of resources organized by grade level and skill. If your student is struggling with a specific concept, it is easy peasy to find an activity here to help him/her.
