February Interactive Math Calendar

This time it is interactive. My kids simply adore technology and nothing can perk up their interest faster than a computer, and now smart phones. So to make things interesting for them I have made an interactive calendar for them. Every day they can click on the date and get to play a math game. There is no reason behind selection of games, I have just selected the games randomly so they can have a variety of topics done every day which also helps in keeping the monotony away. Also as with all the resources I have ever created, this resource was created primarily for the use of my own children, so the level of games is suitable for ages 5-10. I like the idea of designing mix ability resources. This way my older one can have a go at easy activities as a revision and my younger one can have a peek at a little advance level math, the more advance it is the better she likes it. May be it feels like wearing adult sized shoes? (which I was very keen on doing in my own childhood!) So here goes the interactive calendar of February.

Worksheet Fun for September

 

Worksheetworks is another site where you can find free worksheets to print. What makes this site different though is that you can customize the worksheet to suit your students age and ability and the site will generate a worksheet for you which you can download as a PDF. The worksheets found on this site are also of higher quality and are not (much) boring like the average worksheet. For example take a look at this Addition maze or Addition Problem Search where students have to find addition problems like a word search. All worksheets are provided with an answer key. There are also worksheets for grammar and literacy, puzzles, maps and some other misc worksheets.

Wednesday Weekly Website – Tumbletown

 

Tumbletown

 

Review: Tumbletown Tales is a collection of fun educational games based on Canadian TV series. But even the no-TV-watching-Muslims-kids can benefit from the games on the site, after turning down the speakers in some activities with music, though music is relatively less in this website. There are four games in total.

Flower Frenzy is all about patterns. There are 3 levels in it. First two are about finding existing patterns and the third level is to spot possible patterns and bring them in existence.

 

You build the path for Tumbleweed! 
Tumbletown Bound incorporates many areas of
the math curriculum; geometry and spatial
sense, problem solving and estimation, and
touches on the "structures" component of the
science curriculum.

Some shape puzzles to help hone your child’s geometry, spatial skills  and  estimating skills!

 

 

Seed Ball is a great way to introduce your kids
to grids and plotting points on a grid, while
also helping them describe location, and teaching them the co ordinates.

 

There are some worksheets to go with the activities in the “Cool stuff” area. Don’t forget to have a look at the “parents and teachers” guide. It suggests how the games should be used and some very good activities to take the learning further.

Suitable for ages: 5-8
