Numeracy Games & Apps

PC Games:

Timez Attack – interesting game play with math problems to automatize math facts. Bonus that it first tests reaction/typing time! http://www.bigbrainz.com/index.php

Internet Games:

Matific – a paid resource with fun learning games for primary students http://www.matific.com

Khan Academy – I am a big fan of data — getting student data to inform teaching is paramount, in my opinion. And Khan Academy, a math site, does it best. Students have their own login and you can track their progress through math tasks. This site is more math training than games, but the Youtube videos are helpful. http://www.khanacademy.org

StudyLadder – a free resource for teachers to set up classes with individual student logins. A variety of games, readers, and training tasks for all primary ages. My students overall enjoy the choice of activities on studyladder.com
