These are the sites that our students at Brooks Hill have access to in school. You can reach many of the sites below through this area. It's visually easier for the students.
(The rest are listed alphabetically.)
ABCya! A variety of games to play. I've checked out the math ones and like them the best. Kids love this site. (Some of my favorites for fluency: Math Fact Shoot Out, Math Stack, Clear It, Sum of All Dice.)
America's Story from America's Library- The Library of Congress puts the story back in history through images of primary source documents, prints, photographs, maps, recordings, and other materials from the past. Along with the fascinating information about people, places, and things of interest to kids of all ages, there are songs to listen to, a Krazy Kat cartoon to watch, a scavenger hunt, and other fun things to do.
Bedtime Math- Make math part of a family routine! Daily math problems with differing levels of questions. **One of my favorites!
DOGOnews: Fodder for young minds - interesting articles, book reviews, and movie reviews by kids.
Fun For the Brain Lots of Math Games to help with fluency.
(Careful- There are links/ads to Adapted Mind on here, so be careful you don't click on that instead. That site is wonderful, but you need to pay a monthly subscription.)
