What's Your Interest?

Hello Grade 5,

Personally, I love math!  To those of you who are not on board the math train - believe it or not, math can be made fun!  To prove it to you, I've added some links below that will take you to websites that provide activities for mathematics.  These aren't just boring old math problems though, these sites have mathematical games for you to explore.  Plus, you can find the difficulty level that you believe suits you and hopefully work your way up to more challenging problems! 

FASTT Math - http://www.tomsnyder.com/fasttmath/index.html  Click on the category "kids" at the top and find the game that best suits your interest.

Funbrain - http://www.funbrain.com/brain/MathBrain/MathBrain.html  Click on "Math Arcade" at the top.  If you are new to this website, you can select your gender and grade.  A selection of math games will then appear, hopefully you can find the one that suits your interests!  Choose the game that looks the most interesting to you.  Some of the games may include material that has not been covered yet.  Don't worry, we will get there!  You can always go back to the Grade 4 activities for review.  This website offers games for other subject areas as well.  Don't feel as though you can only play the math games!

This link will take you to funschool.com where a variety of math games are available!  Playing these games can help you with your fluency with particular math problems.  Plus, it's fun - trust me some of the games can get you addicted! 

As always, give me your feedback!  Which link did you like the best? Why?
