The following list of math practice websites will grow and change over time is by no means complete. There are many more resources on the web than I could possibly include here. These suggestions may inspire you to find other resources. Please feel free to share what you find! Some of these resources are completely free, other websites offer some free games with options to upgrade for a fee. Some offer practice with basic fact fluency in the form of games. Others teach math concepts using video lessons.

Games for Math Practice
Times Two
Your child and his or her friends will have a blast shouting out answers in this game that boosts both addition and multiplication fact fluency. Playing cards are placed out two at a time, and whoever comes up with the double of their sum wins those cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins the cards.
What You Need:
A deck of cards with the faces cards removed (jokers as well).
What You Do:
Shuffle the cards
Lay two cards face up on the center of the table. Players race to find the sum of the two cards and double it.
The player who calls out the correct answer first keeps the cards.
Example: If you lay out a 2 and a 3: 2+3=5, 5x2=10.
When this becomes too easy, multiply sums by 3, 4, 5, or beyond. Alternatively, you could place three or more cards on the table and double those larger sums. Be creative!
Race to $1.00
Looking for new ways to practice coin counting with your child? This game is simple, yet challenging, and very engaging for early elementary students.
What You Need:
One die
Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters - several of each, whether real or pretend
Pencil and Paper (optional)
What You Do:
Players take turns rolling the die.
The die's sides have the following values -
Roll a 1, take a penny
Roll a 2, take a nickel
Roll a 3, take a dime
Roll a 4, take a quarter
Roll a 5, take any coin
Roll a 6, take any coin
Players roll the die in turn, take their coins and keep track of the total.
The first player to reach $1.00 exactly, wins!
At first, players will want to use paper and pencil to keep track of their totals. However, as they become more proficient, I encourage them to count the coins without paper and pencil, by organizing them and counting from largest to smallest.
