Fun Links for Kids

BBC for Kids - This is one of my all-time favorite math sites. Puzzles range from moderately challenging to big, bad, and tough.

NCTM online activities - This is a treasure chest of interactive activities, virtual games and manipulatives sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Multiplication practice - Looking for fun ways to practice math facts? Tons of free games to play online, freebies to download and some other programs available for purchase.

Shodor Interactivities are terrific applets that help you learn about math concepts such as probablility, geometry, graphing, fractions...you name it!

Are you a number nut? Try the free daily sudoku puzzle from this online challenge.

If sudoku’s not enough of a challenge for you, try kakuro (I like to refer to it as sudoku’s evil cousin.)
