Some Fun Online games

Looking for some different online games to try with your class?  Games are a great way to get students excited while practicing math concepts.  Practice sites like IXL, Xtra Math, and Front Row are okay for drill practice, but sometimes you might want to mix it up.  Kids love Sumdog which practices many skills using many games, but sometimes I know you are looking for games that pinpoint specific skills.

Here is a list of just a few.  You might use them as a station, play them as a class, or share with parents as a way to practice skills at home.

Many of the games come from sites that have a multitude of great games available.  I am only spotlighting a few.

Curious George Hide and Seek: This game follows George through other settings.  Students are asked to identify digits, number words, and sets of objects.  Appropriate for K.

Sum Links:  Students match addition and subtraction statements to make target numbers. This site becomes more difficult as students progress through the levels.  This game is appropriate for Grades  1-2.

Number Bonds:  Players shoot little pinballs as moving targets to make a total of 20.  Requires quick eyes and good aim!  Fun.  Appropriate for Grades 1-2.

Bang on Time:  This clock game has adjustable speeds.  Students try to stop the clock at the time written on the screen.  This game provides good practice of time language.  It works great on the SMART Board.  Appropriate for Grades 2-3, but 4-5 might like for review.

2D Shape Jeopardy:  Little Jeopardy game that reviews the basics.  Appropriate for Grades 2-3.

Multiplication Blocks: This is a race game. Students try to find factors of the target number falling down the side of the screen.  The goal is to hit the factors before the number hits the bottom. Levels become progressively harder.  Appropriate for Grades 3-4.  Good review for 5.

Speedway Fractions:  Another race game. Student answer addition and subtraction problems of fractions with like denominators.  Answers are sometimes in simplest form.  Student moves across the track faster when he answers quickly and correctly.  Appropriate for Grade 4.

Weigh the Wangdoodles:  What a great challenge game!  This game uses pre-algebra and logical reasoning to have students determine the weight of each of the little wangdoodle monsters.  Cute!  Appropriate for Higher students in Grades 3 and 4 and Grade 5.

Let me know if you are looking for a game for a specific skill or grade level.  I will be happy to help you find one that fits your needs!
