Good morning, Welcome to the first Monday in April. This morning I wanted to bring you a new Homeschool Resource. This one is called Math Goodies. I like knowing the website is for ages 5 to 8 as it is the perfect age for Charlie. Charlie and I will be using the worksheets that offer us an introduction to Fractions.
It’s Monday, and time for Math;
Recommended Website:
Age Range: 9-14 (Grades 5-8 approximately, with parental supervision)
This ad-supported website features a smattering of free interactive math lessons, printable worksheets, games and more to help students in about grades 5-8 learn math. Gifted younger children and remedial older students may benefit from the resources provided as well.
The site was designed by a math teacher who also developed a complete math course that is available for sale on the site. However, you don’t have to purchase a thing to access the generous sampling of math lessons and materials.
When you get to the site, you’ll see a brief introduction followed by some featured items and lots of advertisements. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu that includes:
- Lessons – Learn how to determine the perimeter and area of polygons. Find out how to simplify, compare, order, and convert fractions. Explore decimals and percentages. Find out how to write algebraic expressions and equations and much more!
- Worksheets – Download math worksheets (pdf) that include an introduction to fractions, decimals, percent applications, probability theory, graphs, and symbolic logic.
- Webquests – This terrific resource provides math inquiries and instructions that lead to online explorations to find information and solve problems. Choose from a short but meaty selection of quests to recommended websites and learn about exponents and scientific notation, integers and science, math and climate, math and sports, number theory, percentages in daily life, and even a “Pi Day” celebration.
- Games – An assortment of interactive math games including: Factor Tree Game, Integer Football, Percent Goodies, and Probability Goodies.
- Puzzles – Enjoy interactive math-themed crossword puzzles about circles, fractions, logic, percentages, polygons, and probability.
And lots more!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
