IXL: Math Skills Website

This website lets students choose what grade level they want to practice on and the computer produces problems until the student gets 100 points. A quick way to review after school.

Starfall

Starfall is a favorite for younger students who are learning their letter sounds and sight words. The site also provides practice with numbers, beginning adding and subtraction, calendar skills, and colors.

Free Rice

For each answer your student answers correctly, Free Rice donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Program to help end hunger. Your student can choose vocabulary, grammar or math fact problems.

Watch as their bowl of rice fills up!

Math Home Activities

Parents often ask me what their students can be doing at home to improve their skills in math. Here is a list of easy to implement, no hassle tricks!

Math
Make flash cards of facts.
Math computer games.
Time them to see how many math facts they know in 1 minute.
Oral counting, count by 1’s, 2’s, 3’s  5’s, 10’s.
Read numbers on street signs, bill boards, at the grocery store, everywhere!
Review math papers that come home. 
Have your child “teach” you how to do a math skill.
Hand your child a handful of coins and have them tell you how much it is worth.

Discuss time, fractions, and measurement often.
