There are many free online websites where students can practice their skills in a game format. We've utilized a few of these during Computer Lab in room 15, but I encourage you to take advantage of them at home as well.
Multiplication.com is a fun place to practice multiplication facts. Students can choose to focus on one factor at a time, or mix it up with multiple factors in a game of their choice.
Practicing multiplication facts every day helps students know those factors immediately, making complicated operations and word problems infinitely easier.
Spellingcity.com enables students to play spelling games and do practice tests using the words we're working with in class. Each week, I'll load in our 4th and 5th grade words, so that we can use this fun resource in class and at home. (HangMouse is my favorite!) To find the Walgrove list, just click on "Find a List" and either search by school and zip code (Walgrove, 90066) or by my name (Laurie Hansen).
Try them all out, and let me know which one you like the best.
