Good morning, welcome to our Homeschool Resources: Math. Take a look at the websites and if you’ve used them with your students what did you think of the resources and why?
Hands-On Equations is a supplemental program for students that can be used with any math curriculum. It uses the visual and kinesthetic approach developed by Dr. Henry Borenson to provide students with an algebraic foundation for success with algebra.
Grades 2-11 approximately, with parental supervision
This website offers free, sample math games (from its commercially available game-based learning system) that challenge and entertain students.
You can try snippets of the games for free, or register as a teacher/principal of your school to play the games in their entirety. Registration is free without obligation to purchase.
Should you decide to purchase a subscription to the program, you’ll be able to access additional tools to save games, track your student’s progress, etc.
When you get to the site, scroll down to locate a menu of sample games designed to engage students such as:
- A Tangled Web – angle puzzles
- Bubble Function – arithmetic, exponents and scientific notation
- Deepest Ocean – inequalities
- Flower Power – decimals, fractions and percents
- Graphs of the Galaxy – linear equations
- Ice Ice Maybe – estimation
- and more!
Click on any one to read the instructions and begin the game. Things move quickly – so be prepared to be on your toes! As it says on the site, “Get your child excited, engaged and excelling at math.”
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
