Homeschool Resources Mathseeds & PlayKidsGames.com

Homeschool Resources Mathseeds & PlayKidsGames.com as Charlie is struggling in math. So I am looking for new sites for Charlie to use in Math. And I haven’t used Mathseeds, but I am going to check into and sign up for the “Free 14 Day Trial”. So Charlie and I can see how it work and if it would be something he likes. As it would get him something else to do besides just the workbooks, he is getting tired.

Fridays, we have a “Free Day” if Charlie has done all of his work during the week. But we have to do still something where he is learning. So a lot of times we do art or play Board Games. And sometimes I let Charlie online to game as long as they are learning games. So it was nice to find out about this new site called playKIDSgames.com and to see that it is free.

There is much more than just Math games on this site, and I can’t wait for Charlie to get up and look at the site and play some of the games. If he doesn’t hurry up, I just may have to play some of them without Charlie. If you’re like me, you might want to do the same thing.

PlayKidsGames.com

Age Range: 4-13 (Grades Pre-K-8, with parental supervision)

At this website, you’ll find a variety of fun, interactive games designed to help kids learn and practice their math skills.

When you get to the site you’ll see a menu of games that include:

Space Shuttle Launch: You choose whether to work on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or a random assortment of them all. You also get to choose your level: Easy, Medium, or Hard. Every time you answer a math question correctly, you get to watch your rocket ship launch successfully and reach the moon.

Save the Math Apples: Answer the math questions correctly, and the monkey can get the apples safely across the river. One misstep, though, and the hungry crocodile receives a snack!

Seahorse Counting: Count the seahorses and click on the correct corresponding number. Great for young children learning to recognize their names.

Robot Calculator: Type in the correct answers to the math questions that appear on the calculator screen to make your robot very happy.

Math Pinball: Shoot the ball and hit it with the paddles; watch it bounce all around inside the pinball machine. Each time the pinball successfully ricochets off of the components of a math question, you need to answer it correctly before you can continue the game. Complete with sound effects.

Math Tunnel Blaster: Shoot the correct answers to make your way through the walls and the tunnel.

Calculator Quizzer: The questions appear vertically (in the Robot Calculator they appear horizontally).

But that’s not all! There are other subjects also available at this site. Just click on the button of your choice at the top including:

Alphabet
Memory
Vocabulary
Geography
Arts

I would like to ask you a question have you used either of these sites and if so what did you think of them? And if you haven’t used them are these something you would use and if so why? And what grade would you use them? Charlie is in 2nd grade but I also have him doing some 3rd-grade work as well.
