Elementary Math Websites

By Hubbard, Diane

The following sites are compiled and reviewed by elementary math teachers and Region 9 Education Specialists in an effort to assist you in your search for appropriate math sites. 

Website

Content

www.khanacademy.org

Free educational website with 2,100+ videos covering a variety of math, science, humanities, and test prep.

 

Also has the capability for you to be a coach and then have students log on to keep track of their progress.

 

www.wolframalpha.com

Website is a calculation engine (not a search engine) that provides answers to various topics.  What is the world population? How much wheat production occurs in the U.S.? Who won the Oscar for best actor in 1958? What is Jason Kidd's free throw percentage? How tall is the smallest skyscraper? (Which btw, this site does not list the building in Wichita Falls).  The nicest thing about this site is that not only does it provide an answer, it also provides, graphs, charts, and other statistical data. 

 

http://www.mathgoodies.com

Multi-level website that would be great for tutorials or for students to review missed concepts. Many of the games and puzzles could not be opened unless you had purchased the CD. Some upper elementary might be able to use this website when explaining fractions, decimals, or percent. It also had some beneficial topics for high school like Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry

www.education.ti.com

Website has excellent search capabilities for all age groups, topics, and calculators.  Activities require calculators and some require TI connect to transfer programs from the computer to the calculators.

 

www.homeschoolmath.com 

List of other websites for math worksheets and activities.

                                                            

www.illuminations.nctm.org 

This website has 605 lessons for preK-12 math educators and 106 online activities that help to make math come alive in the classroom or at home.  A teacher has used this website several times and really liked the lessons.

www.algebra4children.com 

Website has printable   for solving one step equations and review GAMES that are posted by grade level from pre K up to 8th with higher levels coming.  QUIZZES give instant feedback.

www.beaconlearningcenter.com 

Website has simple graphics. This site would be useful for introducing a topic, re teaching, or independent practice.

www.mangahigh.com 

This website is a "game" website.  It covers 1st through high school topics such as transformations, linear equations, quadratic equations, and cubic equations.

www.brainbashers.com

Website has games, puzzles, optical illusions. Some games are a little silly - car crashes are more fun than doing the math.  There are many good questions, many classical questions, but the answers are right there. 

www.ct4me.net 

This website is full of links to other sites.  It has lots of test prep material for purchase.

 

http://www.math-play.com  

This website is predominately games designed to practice various concepts at middle school level.  Games fun but this site does include advertising.  This could be also used for upper elementary students.

 

 www.coolmath.com 

This website is mainly geared toward math; however, you will find a small science section. You will find a ton of logic games, puzzles, etc for ages 3-100.

www.mathplayground.com 

This website has some great games for math concepts as long as you can maneuver through the advertisements.  Teacher personally used this website in my classroom.  Skill Level is for  PreK - 8th grade

 

www.amathdictionaryforkids.com

 

Website has a great way of setting up the dictionary.  For students grades 1-8. Some of the vocabulary words had interactive activities for the students to participate in as they read about the word, but not all.  The only reason students might be more in inclined to you use the website rather than a dictionary or math textbook would be because it is online and does have quite a few that they can interact with while they learn about the word.

www.themathgames.com 

This website has games available for identifying fractions and finding equivalency of fractions.  The website also has worksheets available to check for understanding.  It would be good to use to review a concept or during tutorials.

http://www.aplusmath.com/ 

Easy to follow website for 3rd grade since it covers addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  The students will not need much direction to navigate the site.

 

http://www.visualfractions.com/ 

An interactive site to show how to perform different functions with fractions.  It has some games which are useful for showing examples of problems along with working problems.  Worksheets are printable. 

 

www.free-training-tutorial.com

Website provides teachers links to math games that are designed for elementary students.  Many of the games focus on arithmetic facts and are somewhat repetitive in nature.  As a result, students may become bored with the game.  The games are imaginative and would benefit those students who possess poor arithmetic fluency.

 

http://hoodamath.com/ 

This site offers free games, video tutorials, worksheets, and movies over a range of math concepts and topics.  

Many of the concepts seem to target skills to help students learn basic operations and working with fractions and decimals.  Skill level is for upper elementary students.

 

http://www.multiplication.com/ 

Website is primarily for 3rd - 5th grade students.  It focuses on basic multiplication fact acquisition and memory mastery.  There are numerous web-based one- and two-person multiplication games that are fun and engaging.  They also have teaching aides and resources for teachers.  The website is easy to navigate for both teachers and students.

http://pbskids.org/ 

This website is mainly for K maybe 1st grade.  The games involved comparing things or shapes. All of the games involved kid cartoon characters.
