If you teach grades 1 or 2 this will be a great website to use to enhance addition and subtraction skills. This will help with their mental math skills. There are a number of interactive games that the students can play. They are Jetski Addition, Island Chase Subtraction, Kitten Match, Alien Addition, Minus Mission and Tug Team Addition. These games will also improve hand eye coordination. The students will be engaged because they have to keep their eyes on the screen in order to get the right answer. It is interactive therefore they have to either use the mouse or the space bar to catch the correct answer. I played all of the games and it was really fun. The students will not only enjoy this exercise but they will be motivated to continue to practice. You can make it a competition if you like. You can select single player or multiplayer. For those of you that teach higher grades you can also use this site. There are activities for multiplication and division, integers, fractions and rations, language arts and geography. This site offers a wide range of activities for various subjects.
The language arts site offers antonyms, vowels, spelling high frequency words and commonly misspelt words, and parts of speech. All of this is in game form and this type of activity is great for our students because they love to play games. They can have fun playing and learning at the same time. They will build on their skills and they will also be motivated and engaged in their learning.
The geography site helps the students learn about map interpretation, timelines and using a map.
The games on this website will help improve the students test scores as well as have them produce quicker math answers. There timed test scores will improve because the activity is timed and they can work on improving the number correct in less time.
Check this site out. I left the link for you to try it out.
These games can also be played on the wii.
