I would like to share a new Homeschool Resource with called Math Pickle and on here they offer math games and puzzles for our children to play. I can’t wait until Charlie is home so we can check out some of the resources I saw a Multiplication game I want to try out with Charlie.
Age Range: 5-18 (Grades K-12, with parental supervision)
Math Pickle is one of the most innovative math sites we’ve seen. A Canadian mathematician/teacher developed this site to help classroom teachers address the multiple math skill levels of students through challenging and engaging activities and games demonstrated with slide shows or videos.
All of it can be tweaked for use in the homeschool environment. When you get to the site, click on “All Puzzles” then choose the grade level of interest to you. You can also switch to the subject menu.
- In grades K-2 – Enjoy math games that teach patterns, skip counting, addition, symmetry, and more.
- In grades 3-4 – Play dot-to-dot measuring puzzles, learn subtraction, Fibonacci numbers, and more.
- In grades 5-6 – Practice division, discover prime numbers, practice factoring, and more.
- In grades 7-9 – Enjoy a game of “Integral Fission,” practice multiplying fractions, engage in cipher breaking, do puzzles to learn about polygons, area, logic, and more.
- In grades 10-12 – Play games and solve puzzles that teach algebra, scientific notation, probability, and more.
Click on any topic and a new page opens where you can click through the slides or watch a demonstration video.
What an incredible range of free math activities! Bookmark this site to return often.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
