It’s Monday and it’s time for Math in our classroom and as we begin a new week I wanted to bring you a new Homeschool Resource called The Positive Engagement Project – Mathematics is for children from 5-11 (Grades K-6, with parental supervision.
This website is created and maintained by The Positive Engagement Project – Mathematics has so much to offer! Their mission is to get students positively engaged in active learning, while getting ourselves and others positively engaged with schools and communities.
We are focusing on Math, but once you’ve looked at this valuable resource, go to the other links under “Free Downloads” to see the vast array of quality learning games and strategies that they’ve put together for English Language Arts, Science, Engagement Strategies, Test Review/Strategies, and Character Education.
When you get to the site, click on Download File under ACING MATH: (ONE DECK AT A TIME!) – it’s actually a 69-page book (pdf)! The website explains that this is a collection of math games ranging from Kindergarten to the upper elementary grades, using only an ordinary deck of playing cards. There are games covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, percents, decimals, patterns, positive and negative integers, as well as many others – over 50 different games with directions and illustrations! Each game tells you how many players are needed, an age range, the materials needed, which math skills are learned playing this game, and very specific instructions to play.
Bookmark this website and return often to take advantage of all that they offer!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
