I'm on break at my PD day here at Beachy Cove, but had to post a fantastic link. I came across it last night, and thought it would be great review (and lots of fun), especially for those who have finished all the math review questions. You will be taken to a page called Math Journey, and asked to customize the types of questions that students will have to answer. I would suggest you select
Addition of 1-4 digit numbers, Subtraction of 1-4 digit numbers, Multiplication of 1-digit numbers, and
Rounding to 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000. If your child feels comfortable with harder applications, feel free to go for it.
The site can be found at
www.quia.com/mathjourney.html
What I would like students to do is keep track of what cities they travel to, and post them in order as a comment on this post. To do this, click on the title of this post (Fun Math News Flash) then go to the bottom of the post and look for "Post Comment". Make sure to include your name. This is not a mandatory activity, but I thought it would be a neat challenge and a fun game at the same time.
Enjoy your weekend!
