Additional Math Resources
Addition & SubtractionAmoeba Addition Game Practice adding 3 digits by splitting numbers. Look for title "Addition by Splitting" game. Also see the Amoeba Subtraction Game.
MultiplicationTimes Square This game provides practice with multiplication facts as players race to be the first to get 4 products in a row on the game board. Use "guest pass" to enter game list and play against the computer.
Factor Dazzle Players score points for finding all the factors of target numbers set by their opponents. Use "guest pass" to enter game list and play against the computer.
MathTappers: Multiples App compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for math practice on the go. This is a simple, free game designed to help learners make sense of multiplication and division using visual models.
Amoeba Multiplication Game Look for "Written Multiplication Game." This activity breaks multi-digit multiplication problems into partial products to solve. Excellent practice with larger multiplication. Beginner level includes 1 digit x 2 digit; Advanced level uses 3 digit x 2 digit.
DivisionDrag Race Division Race to answer basic division problems. Students can race one another or play against the computer.
All Basic FactsMath Magician Specify facts to practice. Select from addition , subtraction , multiplication , or division . Timed.
Xtra Math This free, web-based, math fact fluency program includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
FractionsDig It Players take turns digging in a field loaded with precious stones. The object is to collect as much dirt and as many stones as possible. Players tell the shovel where to dig by using a set of numbers to make a fraction–including improper fractions–and then locating that fraction on a number line that runs across the field. The more accurately they locate the fraction, the better their score. Students may need some help to get started. Use "guest pass" to enter game list and play against the computer.
Fraction Feud Players use number "cards" to create fractions that are larger (or smaller) than their opponents' in a series of mock jousts. See the "fraction bar chart" to figure out how big a fraction is in relation to an opponent's. Use "guest pass" to enter game list and play against the computer.
Drop Zone Players add fractions that will total 1 as they race to win 5 points in this action-packed game. Develops fraction sense, estimation, and skill at adding fractions with like and unlike denominators. Use "guest pass" to enter game list and play against the computer.
Equivalent Fraction Bingo Match the numerical fraction to its equivalent visual model.
Fraction Fling Match fraction to the visual model and hit the fraction to answer the question. Players can choose to use mixed fractions while playing.
MathTappers: Estimate Fractions In this free app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, students relate fractions (symbols and pictures) to the nearest half. Then they use fraction estimates in addition and subtraction problems. Excellent game to use while on the go.
DecimalsPecking Order Arrange fractions and decimals from least to greatest on a number line.
GeometryneXtu Players place shapes on a tessellating game board, collecting points and capturing opponent's pieces. Math concepts include: greater than, less than, tessellations, and symmetry.
Sammy’s Symmetry Shuffle Place pattern blocks in the correct positions to complete the pattern/shape on the line of symmetry. Three difficulty levels.
Lines of Symmetry Click on shapes with one, two, or more lines of symmetry.
Alien Angles Slide a bar to position a ray to estimate different angles in order to rescue lost space aliens.
Airlines Builder In this Cyberchase game, players must construct 3 different ships with the same perimeter by clicking and dragging edge pieces. After the ship is built, the "seats" are filled to show area.

READING DETECTIVES:
Sometimes an author won't tell us everything in a story, but they'll give us clues to help us think about things that are probably true. As readers, we need to notice the clues in the text, combine it with our background knowledge, and make a theory about what we think is probably true. This is called making an inference, inferencing, or inferring.
