ADDITION

All About Addition

http://www.aaamath.com/add.html

This site has bright colors that would catch the eyes of a young child.  This is a wonderful site.  This site took every aspect of math and turned it into addition.  Not only was addition with two or three numbers covered, but also addition of fractions, decimals, and place value.  These games for fun and a younger child who is sharp on his/her math facts would feel challenged.  I would not use the games for younger children who are just learning their addition facts because they might feel pressured against the clock.  The games that the students can play are Countdown, Give Me Time, and 20 Questions.

Math Baseball

http://www.funbrain.com/math

I had so much fun on this site.  This site is book marked on my computer.  This site is interactive and provides the student to associate math with an event that they enjoy.  If you have a boy in your classroom that you know loves baseball, and they will not participate in learning their math facts, this site would be wonderful.  You can select the kind of game and the level of difficulty for the problems.  They give the student a problem and if they get it correct, they get on base.  The difficulty of the problem determines if the pitch is a single, double, triple, or a homerun.  This site is highly recommended.

Wizz Kidz

http://www.wizzkidz.com/

This site is great for a tutorial.  This site is semi-complicated.  The student can click on math and then a person comes on and begins to talk to you.  He uses beach balls to teach addition.  After going through the teach section of this site, I selected to play.  After the students learn, they can play.  This game is semi-slow.  Instead of hitting enter, the student must use the mouse and go and click on the answer.  It tells them if they are right or wrong.

Cool Math 4 Kids

http://www.coolmath-games.com/arithmattack/index.html

This site is similar to drill and practice.  Everything is a race against the clock.  I like this site because they allow the student and/or teacher to select operation at the highest and lowest number.  Teachers could use this site as a form of assessment of the operations.

High-Rise Math

www.hbschool.com/activity/hrise/hrise.html

This site is great for two students to play.  The student clicks on the dice and uses the number as an addition problem.  The more they get right, the higher up they move.  The first one to the top is the winner.

Farm Stand Math Game

http://www.prongo.com/farm/

This site has the best graphics.  This site is great for practicing addition with money.  Students will love the colors and the graphics.  The students add or multiply the food and then they put the answer in the block and hit enter.

ThinkQuest

http://libray.tihinkquest.orgj002596/*This page could not be found

This site is good for beginners.  The word problems are illustrated to make it easier for the learner.  After the learner answers all of the problems, the computer will grade their answers.  This is a good form of assessment to use for students who are just learning addition.  This is also a good review for students who are having difficulty with their addition.

http://www.thinkquest.org/library/cat_show.html?cat_id=246* This is a site that I found in the ThinkQuest Library.  It is a page full of arithmetic websites.

Addition, Sums 10 To 18: Concentration Game

http://www.quia.com/cc/633.html

This site is great.  It reinforces addition vocabulary.  The students must click on a card and then try to uncover the sum or the problem.  It keeps up with how many you get right.  After you complete one game, there are more concentration games.  The sums are between 10 and 18.

Addition, Sums 10 To 18: Matching Game

http://www.quia.com/mc/633.html

This site is very basic.  The addition problems are turned face up as well as the answers.  The student has to match the sum to the correct addition problem.  This site is really good for beginners.  The sums are between 10 and 18.

http://www.edu4kids.com/math

This site allows teachers and students to choose any type of math problem to work from addition to division.  This site quizzes the students by using the flashcards.  There are three levels that the students by choose from:  Easy, Simple Or Complex.  Number sizes may very between 0-999.  The computer will keep score and run the timer for the students.  The student may choose to read the problems on-the flashcard vertically or horizontally.

Number Z

http://www.semiotics.com/flash/

This site allows teachers/parents to download the files for a free Demo that could be used as a full program.  This site allows students to practice their addition and other mathematical skills.  This site reviews numbers up to 20.  This site provides score keeping and controls penalties and rewards for the players.  It students get a problem wrong, the computer will repeat the missed question later on in the game.  This is a great, interactive way to get the students interested in math and technology.

Alphametic Puzzles

http://www.tkcs-collins.com/truman/alphamet/alphamet.shtml

This web site is truly for the older student (grade 8-).  The site offers puzzles set up like an addition problem in which digits can be substituted for letters to make the formula true.  This can get confusing.  There are rules provided when trying to solve the puzzle.  A teacher should allow the students to work on this independently or in groups, but the teacher should allow the students to get frustrated with his flash her self and working this problem.

http://games.funschool.com/game.php?g=1061&s=3&category=0&level=3

This is an online game for first-grade students.  Students are placed on a farm and are asked to add all the chickens they see.  The chicks are placed around the farm in various number groups.  Number sentences are written above each group of chicks.  The students can have the computer grade their work and they can mail it in.  This is a great online game for lower elementary students.

http://www.edu4kids.com/math/

I didn't really like this site.  The site had you pick your area that you wanted and then you just enter the answer.  I don't think it would help students learn.  It's boring and it uses the old way of learning division by using drill.
