Math Games and Helpful Websites:
Math Magician Games
Choose +, -, X, or /. Can students complete 20 math fact problems with 100 percent accuracy in less than 60 seconds? If they can, they might print out an award certificate or ask a classmate to verify the total and record it on a chart.
MathMastery's CyberChallenge
Choose +, -, X or /. Students have 1 minute to get as many correct answers as they can. Have a classmate verify the total and record it on a chart.
Pick a Number
Multiplication only. This game is ideal for students just learning the times tables. It focuses on the individual tables; it does not mix the 4x tables and 5x tables, for example. Click one of the joker's cards (e.g., click the 7 to enter the World of 7, then click Table Tournament.) How many of the 20 multiplication table problems do students get right before the time runs out? Have a classmate verify the score and record it on a chart.
AAA Math
Click your grade level. Then click Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division. For each operation, you will find several games, including How many correct answers can you get in 60 seconds? and How fast can you get 20 more correct answers than wrong answers? Have a classmate verify the score and record it on a chart.
Matching Multiplication Game
Multiplication only. Click the multiplication fact on the left side of the page and its matching product on the right side. How long does it take you to match all eight pairs? Have a classmate verify the time and record it on a chart.
