Wondering what you can do to keep your child's math skills going through the summer? The internet holds the key! If you do nothing else over the summer, PLEASE keep their multiplication basic facts fresh in their heads - through flashcards, games, verbal quizzes - whatever it takes! This will help them tremendously when we return so they are ready to add more math to their little brains.
Let me point you in a few directions that your student can use to practice their skills AND have some fun doing it. http://tenmarks.com/ All of the kids in my math classes have an account on TenMarks website where they can log in and learn as well as play games as they earn them. This is a great starting point! It is free if you are signed up under your teacher. https://www.xtramath.org/ All of the kids in my math class also have access to our XTraMath account. This site works on basic facts. Students must pass addition then subtraction before moving on to multiplication and division. No games here - just simple, quick practice. http://www.khanacademy.org/ Fourth graders all have account already up and running on the Khan Academy website. Anyone can sign up with an email address though. The website is free and provides videos and practice on EVERY math topic you can imagine. Again no games here, but a great place to practice skills. http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/mathmagician/cathymath.html Need some more basic facts practice? Choose +, -, X or /. Students can try to complete 20 facts with 100% in one minute. http://www.funbrain.com/brain/MathBrain/MathBrain.html This site has a math arcade for hours of fun. You will need to sign your child up and remember their password to return. http://aplusmath.com/games/ This website has a MathO game that is bingo for +, -, X or /practice. http://www.aaamath.com/ Across the top of this website is a list of the grade levels, pick the appropriate one. Then a list of concepts necessary for mastery of this grade level will come up. Scroll to the bottom to find the practice work. This is not the most user friendly website, but it does allow for focused practice on topics your child might be struggling with. http://www.mathcats.com/explore/mathcatsgames.html Silly game and logic and problem solving all with a cat theme! http://www.multiplication.com/ A GREAT website with a huge VARIETY of games to master basic facts (mostly multiplication but there is also a little of everything else.) http://www.mathplayground.com/games.html Just a great variety of games for learning. http://321know.com/sudoku.htm I know how many of your students love the logic and number puzzles I keep out for them. Here is a website to complete Sudoku online. Again I would emphasize, BASIC FACTS. Keep their multiplication facts ripe and we'll be ready to hit the ground running in the fall again with new concepts! Have a great summer!
