It is so hard to believe school will be ending in just 15 days. So since I am not sure Charlie is really ready for the 4th grade I have been looking for both math and reading resources we can use not only in the Summer but during school as well. So today I am back with two new sites thanks to Click Schooling. Please let me know if you have used either site and what you thought of them.
The Co-op is pleased to offer
DreamBox Learning, an award-winning online math curriculum for K-5 children. The key to
DreamBox’s success is that it places great emphasis on
making math fun and engaging so that children will be motivated to play and learn. Members save up to 67% on an annual online license, exclusively through the Co-op! Plus, purchase this month as a Deal of the Month and get 400 SmartPoints until 5/31.
Age Range: 5-14 (Grades K-8, with parental supervision)
This ad-supported
website offers
free lessons, games, and worksheets to learn arithmetic basics as well as some advanced math (for grades K-8) in a non-conventional format.
The relaxed style of presentation sprinkles humor throughout the explanations of math concepts. The use of the latest multi-media technology to illustrate the concepts through interactive games and activities really helps reinforce the learning.
When you get to the site you’ll see an icon menu. Before you explore it, scroll down the page and read the brief introduction designed to help you navigate the site. Then, from the icon menu simply pick a topic to get started, including:
- Shapes & Colors
- Counting Numbers
- Add Numbers
- Subtract Numbers
- Multiply Numbers
- Divide Numbers
- Operations/Order
- Dates & Times
- Fractions
- Decimals
- Percent Values
- Estimation & Rounding
- Ratios
- Money Math
- Factors
- Graphs & Grids
- Squares & Roots
- Units of Measure
- Advanced Numbers
- Scientific Notation
- Variables
Click on any one and a new page opens with a “lesson” – an explanation and illustration of the concept. In most cases you’ll find an online activity that students can do to reinforce the learning.
And – GET FREE ADDITION & SUBTRACTION WORKBOOKS!Below the icon menu, you’ll see the words “Math Workbooks.” Click on it and a new page will open with free “Addition” Workbooks. (Look in the upper right corner of the page to find a link to the “Subtraction” workbooks.) The workbooks are in pdf format so you can save them to your computer and print them out to do offline.
This is a fabulous resource to enhance any study of mathematics! Bookmark it to return often.
I would like to remind you inside this post is my affiliate link and if you click on it and make a purchase that I will earn points in which I can redeem them for items for Charlie to use in our classroom.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
