Great Math Pracitce Problems

My dear fried Jamy posted this site, so I thought I would share it.  All levels are represented (K-8) and the practice problems are based on the State Standards.

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!

Multiplication Fun

Tangrams

I recently picked up this book from the library:

The Tangram book : the story of the Chinese puzzle with over 2000 puzzles to solve
Slocum, Jerry.

Marcus loves to look at an image, create it using one set of Tangrams, and then check his answer. Gabriella likes to play with all of the Tangrams and create pictures (shown here). Either way, Tangrams are an easy, creative, smart activity for children.

Enjoy!
