Blog Post #13 What Did I Leave Out

Instructions: There are many websites that help with math. Find three websites you would use in your class, describe what the site provides, and why you will use it in the classroom.

Math Play is a great website where students can play games while reviewing their math skills. There are soccer and basketball games that incorporate adding, subtracting, matching, and so much more. When the students pick their math concept and game, they answer math questions in order to continue with the game. The game also keeps us with the number of questions they have correct/incorrect. I would use this website in the classroom because the games are a way to review the math concept rather than reviewing through paper and pencil. Children love to play games and incorporating it into math will give them motivation without knowing they are reviewing their math skills.

ABCYA is a website that has games for every subject while organizing it in groups of topic. The games include base ten blocks, counting, and comparing number values, just to name a few. This website has the math concepts listed in alphabetical order so the teacher can easily find games needed for a particular lesson. The games are colorful and viewer friendly as well.  I would use this website for students that need more assistance with math because it breaks the concept down into smaller steps with questions. It also reads the instructions and numbers to the student.

Math Playground has a list of math games that students can play while learning. The website is broken into concepts then lists the various games they can play to review concepts. The students are given a choice about what games they would like to play to

review the concept taught. I would use this website in the classroom because it has various options to choose from while incorporating animals, aliens, and much more. Students may find this website more interesting because the math games have topics that they are interested in (kangaroos, puppies, etc.).
