Conquering Those Math Facts!



Learning the multiplication and division facts can be a little overwhelming for some kids. If they can practice those new skills with games and fun activities, it takes a lot of the stress away. Try out some of the great links I have included below to help your students multiply and divide with ease! Enjoy the free multiplication game!

Why use games?

1. Practicing math facts with flash cards can be beyond boring, and turn kids off to the whole process.
2. Bringing "fun" into the mix is a brain based technique that relaxes students and makes learning happen much more easily. It's biology baby!!
3. Games are a perfect solution to the problem, "What am I going to put in centers this week?".

Hope you and your students enjoy some of my favorites below:

This site has many multiplication and division game activity choices. Most are prefect for centers too!


This set of games from Multiplication.com is fantastic! There are so many fun games here. Be sure to check out Granny Prix Multiplication! Students can choose easy, medium or hard games!


You have to be fast for this one! It's great practice!!


OH MY GOODNESS! I love the games here. They are just too cute, and really keep a kid's attention. Learning should be fun!

Rethinking Regrouping!





Sometimes it takes coming at regrouping from a different direction to help kids understand what is really going on. That can be as simple as showing a video that teaches the concept a little differently. And what about subtracting across zeros...OMG! That takes real understanding of what is going on! The links below should be a big help in whole group teaching, centers, or cooperative learning. They include different ways to approach regrouping, as well sites for practice. I hope they are helpful!



This is a terrific site to practice subtraction with regrouping. If you haven't found "Study Jams" yet, be sure to look around the site. It's really, really good!



Love this regrouping rap !



 This is the free version…and it's terrific for both addition and subtraction with regrouping!


                        This one REALLY gets into your head...and that's a GOOD thing!
