In 5th grade, we've been playing a new board game to practice math facts and comparing decimals. It's NBA Math Hoops. The kids have been asking if they can play at home, and (as it turns out) there's an app for that! The same rules apply to the app as the board game, only you play the computer instead of another team. Have some fun with it!
Visit the website of the National Museum of Mathematics for some wonderful online events and resources for kids and families. There are many virtual offerings that might interest you and your child.
