| It’s Monday, June 17, 2019, and time for Math Resources. I would like to invite you to check out the Recommended Websites: If you have used these resources let me know what you thought of them and why. e-Learning for Kids Age Range: 5-12 (Grades K-6, with parental supervision) This website is from a global, nonprofit foundation dedicated to fun and free learning on the internet for children ages 5 – 12. There are hundreds of Math e-Lessons on this learning portal. The lessons are intended as supplemental material: designed to support a full curriculum and provide additional practice. When you get to the website, you can select the lessons by grade level. You can also choose to have the lessons displayed by popularity. You’ll find choices like these: K: Length and Mass , K: 2D Shapes K: Measurement, K: Time, K: Money, 1: Numbers to 201:, Time & Area 1:, 3D Objects, 1: Addition & Time,1: Fractions & Money, 2: Mass, 2: Time & Temperature, 2: Measurement, 2: Chance & Data, 2: 3D Space, 3: Numbers to 9993:, Counting Forwards & Backwards, 3: Counting in 4’s, 3: Graphs, 3: Addition of Money, 4: Fractions & Decimals, 4: Pattern & Function, 4: Four-Digit Numbers, 4: Capacity , 4: Calculations 5: Prisms & Pyramids, 5: Whole Number, 5: Volume & Capacity, 5: Bar Graph & Data, 5: Perimeter, 6: Prisms & Pyramids, 6: Mixed Problem Solving, 6: Angles, 6: Factors & Multiples, 6: Number Sense The lessons are presented through an animated interactive video. And there is also a Teacher Guide in each lesson – look for the little person icon in the upper right of the ‘video’. Once you have explored the Math World portal, check out the rest of the website because these people provide lessons for children ages 5-12 in Science, Environmental Skills, Computer Skills, Health, Language Arts, and Life Skills.

| Visual Fractions Age Range: 9-14 (Grades 4-9 approximately, with parental supervision) This website provides free visual pictures, images, graphs, and animations of fractions and operations with fractions, to make them easier to understand and fun to practice. Through the use of interactive exercises and visual aids (like number lines and circle graphs), students can learn how to: Identify fractions Rename fractions Compare fractions Add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions The concepts are demonstrated through the visual images and explained in text format. Then, the student can practice their understanding with an interactive drill session. Click on any topic from the menu in the middle of the home page and a new page opens with instructions for how to use the animations, graphs, and number lines to learn the fraction concept. In most instances you are shown a visual image and asked to type in the corresponding fraction. Back on the main page, under “Special Features” you can access the “Fractions Games Page” to enhance learning. Don’t miss the free, printable “Fractions Worksheets“ that really demonstrate operations with fractions in an engaging way. Parents may want to read the “About” page for tips on how to use the site effectively. This is a really simple and easy to use resource that will improve students’ skills in understanding fractions and their operations. Enjoy! Thank you, Glenda, Charlie and David Cates |
