Multiplication troubles?

Gabriella understands the concept of multiplication very well, however to recall multiplication facts quickly is not her forte.  We are working on it!

I found this wonderful site for her (it's free) and wanted to share it.  Just click on "Games" and scroll down.  There are quite a few!  Some incorporate art into the games as well (like Minko's Milkshake Shop).  You can pick the level and/or the specific fact you want your child to work on.  Enjoy!

Virtual Surgery

Marianne sent me this site for "Dr. Marcus". We did virtual knee replacement surgery yesterday and he LOVED it. We also did the game about simple machines which was very cool. We will explore the site more over the next couple of weeks, however I think this may be his new favorite!

Fun Website

A friend of mine gave me this website and the kids love it!  The site is geared mostly towards math, but there are some spelling and grammar games.  Enjoy!

BrainPop

Marcus and Lella have officially graduated from BrainPop Jr. to BrainPop.  This is such a wonderful way to incorporate computer time into the school day.  There is a wide range of topics covered and after each short video, students are given the opportunity to take an online quiz.  You can sign up for a free trial with no obligations.  The monthly fee is $9.95 (sign up under the "Family" section and not the "Homeschool" section). 

The characters remain consistent throughout each video and the videos are informative and even funny at times!  BrainPopJr. is a bit more fun than BrainPop, but the topics are limited.   Enjoy!
