When you get to the site, you’ll see featured games. To sort by math strand and grade range, scroll to the menu at the bottom of the page.
Notice that the games can be sorted by game style as well – such as games that require the player to escape, shop, build, race, etc.
IMPORTANT: Every game is free to play but is accompanied by a randomly generated advertisement, usually delivered as a video clip. Some of the ad content is geared for adults, not kids. As always, parents should preview the website and supervise all Internet access.
You’ll also find links to some animated math “movies” and math tutorials (on a YouTube channel with random ads) that provide instruction in Whole Numbers, Decimals, Fractions, Ratio and Proportion, Percent, Integers, Order of Operations, Algebra, and Geometry designed for grades 3-6. To find the movies and tutorials scroll to the menu at the bottom of the home page. The videos are meant to be entertaining, but may seem silly.
It’s Wednesday, and time for Language Arts
Recommended Website:
The site is produced by Amanda Mabillard who holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Alberta in Canada and focused on Shakespeare and Renaissance political philosophy in both undergraduate and graduate school. She also happens to be the Shakespeare Guide on About.com, so some of her articles link to material posted there.
When you get to the site you’ll see the featured content in the center of the screen including a link to “Why Study Shakespeare”?
Use the menu on the left side of the screen to access all of his plays and sonnets along with analysis, plots, a biography of Shakespeare scholars, and a fun selection of Shakespeare quizzes.
Use the menu on the right side of the screen to get the answer to the question of the day, see the featured quote, the word of the week, and more.
The content here is comprehensive and a terrific resource for homeschool families.
