Our Top Ten List of Free Interactive Math Sites for Kids



We are constantly using the World Wide Web in enhancing instruction for our kids. Below are our favorites (in order):
  1. Khan Academy - http://www.khanacademy.org - This site has over 3000 instructional videos in just about any math subject, as well as skills practice!
  2. Free Rice - http://freerice.com - this site has math (other subjects too!) quizzes. The coolest thing is that for every correct answer, Free Rice donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programe to help end hunger!
  3. Thinkfinity - http://www.thinkfinity.org - interactive math games, lesson plans, and activities
  4. ABCYA - http://www.abcya.com - interactive math games by grade level
  5. J Math Page - http://jmathpage.com - interactive math tools, activities, and games
  6. Cool Math - http://coolmath-games.com - Some teachers don't like this site, arguing that it is not math related. We beg to differ. The games require logic and critical thinking which exercise the part of the brain that is used for math. In addition, there are interactive math lessons and a number games section that are wonderful!
  7. Multiplication.com - http://www.multiplication.com/games - This site has a number of interactive multiplication table drills. The kids love it! A must in learning times tables! Granny Prix and Diaper Derby are favorites. You can do mixed problems or just concentrate on a number where struggles lie.
  8. Sheppard Software - http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm - math practice exercises in many different categories
  9. Math is Fun - http://mathisfun.com - great games and worksheets
  10. PBS Kids - http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/math-games - fun math and logic games for the elementary aged child
We hope you enjoy exploring this list. Future posts will include websites for other subjects and for different resources!

Don't know how I missed this one!  I use this all the time for my math tutoring (Games by grade level).  http://www.math-play.com/  One of my favorites!!
