Math Chimp

Math Chimp


Mathchimp.com has to be one of the coolest websites out there for math education. First, you select the grade level that you teach. It then takes you to another page where it describes what that grade should be learning according to the common core standards. If you have a specific standard that you want to teach, you can click on that and it will take you directly to activities that deal with that specific standard. Otherwise, just scroll down to see games, videos, and worksheets that all relate to the topics children in that grade should learn. I think that this is an invaluable resource for teachers, since it can be related directly to specific standards. I also like how it provides both games and videos, as well as worksheets for students to practice that skill.

I plan to use this in my own classroom as a part of math centers. I think it would be a great idea to have this website pulled up on several computers in the back of the classroom. I would already click the standard that I want the students to be working on, and they could choose whether to play a game or watch a video to practice the skill that that standard addresses. It would also be beneficial to show good videos from this website to my entire class as an engage activity.
