Math Activities – A variety of activities for each grade that match the units in the WFB math series

What activities can you do at home with your fourth grader to practice math skills, as well as provide challenging math activities?

Check your fourth grader’s SRB – Student Reference Book – for the math games on pp. 184-208. These games can be modified to provide practice and/or challenge, depending on the needs of the student playing the games.

Card games and board games that include math as a component can provide practice and challenge in an enjoyable format. Monopoly, Cribbage, Solitaire, and Rummy are favorites in my family.

There are mathematics web sites* available online that can be used to provide opportunities for students of all ages:

AAA Math

FunBrain.com

A+ Math

Math Forum

Cool Math.com

Brain Teasers

Math Challenges

*As always, an adult should carefully supervise children who are online.
