Thanks to Richard from Dales Infants for pointing this one out to me!  As the name suggests, it is a maths dictionary for children!  Have a look!

Lots of great resources on Educated Fish

This is a site which is still under construction but there’s so much to work with to support Key Stages 1, 2 & 3.  Nine curricular subjects are covered from Numeracy, Literacy, Science and ICT to Music, Art and Languages.

 

Explore maths games and quests with Cyberchase

CYBERCHASE teaches kids that maths is everywhere, everyone can be good at it, and it’s fun!

CYBERCHASE

The Cyberchase website is based on a TV show.  Teachers can see video clips, guides to episodes and character descriptions. In fact the Parent and Teacher section is excellent with tips, a quick tour to familiarise yourself and lots more.

There are two main sections:

Games – include interactive maths games and puzzles.
Quests – pupils can create their own cyber characters and go on cyber quests in these interactive activities.

Lots of maths topics to work with, including measurement, growth by doubling, inverse operations, decimals, negative numbers,  place value, angle measurement, area and heaps more. 

Children are encouraged to sign up using a nickname so a bit of e-safety is built in.

BBC Bitesize

Don’t forget about BBC Bitesize.  There is a lovely little program on the KS2 site called Questionaut - ‘Journey through strange worlds and test your knowledge on this magical mission’.  Make sure you have your sound on – well to start off with at least!

 

Interactive educational games

I found Jetski whilst browsing the Internet and thought what a fun game it would be to play on the interactive whiteboard.  I then found the home page and discovered that there are a range of games for single and multiple users to fine tune not only maths skills but literacy too.  

Introducing Sketchcasting! – Sketchcast.com
