Greg Tang Math

There is a great website that has math skills that help students (and adults) think differently about math.  All the activities are free, and we use them to practice skills in math.  I've included the link to the Greg Tang math page here.  If you click on Student Activities, there are great games to play to practice many skills.  Many of the games are fun for adults too-I like playing Kakooma and NumTanga!

IXL

Each student has a different set of skills to practice, and their recommended skills keep changing as they grow and develop.  Click here to get to the login.  Everyone is our class has their firstnamelast name@jdb as their login.  They know their passwords too.  They can go into the diagnostics tab to practice a variety of skills, or go to recommendations to practice one type of skill.
