Math Games Online

I have been working on assembling links to some good online math games to put on the computers that the students use at Centers time. We already have KidPix, Logo, and a couple of installed math games on the computers. The links will expand the choices.

As I evaluate which games to use, I found an online article that has been helpful. It was posted by NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and discusses math games and how to evaluate the many online games to finds ones that support students’ learning of math concepts in an interactive way. Here is a link to the article, which includes links to some games that they recommend:  http://www.nctm.org/resources/content.aspx?id=27612

I follow the Free Technology for Teachers blog which features a wealth of resources for teachers available online. Richard Byrne, who writes the blog, periodically includes math resources, including games, in his post.
