Games to Play at Home
Games
KidsNumbers is a website full of FUN math games for students of all ages (even adults). Students can play games to enhance their skills with addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, telling time, geometry, algebra and more! Games on this website are so fun that I would use them during indoor recess time on cold or rainy days. My favorite game is St. Pat's Math Adventure!
Thinkfinity
Thinkfinity
Thinkfinity is an excellent website for teachers, parents, tutors, and anyone else who works to help educate students. This free website is packed with materials for mathematics at school, after school, and at home. I also really like that users of this website can customize their searches to find materials for the specific needs of students. I will use this website in our classroom with many lessons to help build a strong mathematical foundation for students. I will also use many of the interactives designed for students during center time. This website is very user friendly and also provides a great deal of partner websites for users including a link to Illuminations website.

Turtle Pond Game
Turtle Pond Game
This is a great game for school and home. While this entire website is wonderful, I really enjoy the Turtle Pond game! This game is an excellent tool for reinforcing direction, angles, measurement, sequencing, and problem solving skills. Children use the direction buttons to direct the turtle to the pond. I will try to use this game in my class during lessons covering many of the concepts above. This game could serve as an extend to these lessons during center time. Children could also play this game using grid paper and pencils if desired.

Resources for Teachers
Teacher Vision
This website is packed with useful resources for teachers as well as parents. TeacherVision has resources for all subject areas, themes, and grades. Under the math tab, visitors of this website find four different "branches of mathematics" including algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and statistics. Other resources include activities for estimation, measurement, operations, graphs and charts, and many others. I enjoy this website because it is extremely user friendly as well as useful. I plan on utilizing this website a great deal as a teacher because it not only has great ideas for teachers of every content area, but actual materials for teachers to use in the classroom as well.
