This is the first of what I hope to be daily (or nearly so) posts featuring an online resource that I found to be interesting and worth sharing.
Today's feature is Calculation Nation™ from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Calculation Nation™ uses the power of the Web to let students challenge opponents from anywhere in the world. At the same time, students are able to challenge themselves by investigating significant mathematical content and practicing fundamental skills. The element of competition adds an extra layer of excitement.
The games are organized around upper elementary and middle school math content. Kids can play online math strategy games that allow them to learn about fractions, factors, multiples, symmetry and more, as well as practice important skills like basic multiplication and calculating area. “The games on Calculation Nation™ provide an entertaining environment where students can explore rich mathematics,” said Jim Rubillo, Executive Director of the NCTM.
