Created by a middle school teacher, Hooda Math is easy to use and has well-designed interactives, games, tutorials, and movies on a number of topics for older grade students. There is really something for all grade levels on this site. The developer, Michael Edlavitch, created these free games to engage students in learning math through play. You will find games, tutorials, worksheets to support the games, and movies on math concepts.
The games can be used for skill development, home learning, lab activities, or in afterschool programs. On the math games tab, you will find geometry, arithmetic and logic games. They range from early elementary to middle school level.
In addition to the math site, you will also find
Hooda Word with reading, typing and word games. Also, Hooda Brain.
This site really offers something for all teachers and is worth exploring. I think you will find it a quality site for your students.
Start exploring and find one game or tutorial that will work for you and try it with your students. They will let you know whether or not they find the games helpful and engaging.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I know how challenging it is for teachers to search for quality sites to support their technology integration efforts. That is why I started this "keeping it simple" blog. Keep checking in!!
