Menus for the Computer Station- Math!


A few ideas for the computer station. Favorite these on your student computers under a unit name or month folder.

I promise I will only show you one resource that isn't free. Our district pays for IXL.com. I LOVE this website. It has a level for each grade and over 200 tasks for each level. Students earn virtual rewards. Most programs just put you through a process, but IXL is task specific. If we are working on multiplication word problems, I pick the multiplication word problem task. Get it? Love it. I can pull reports with their information.

And on to the free ones! Visit these sites, bookmark a few games each, and you will have a fun menu for your learner to choose from!


Fun4thebrain.com has AWESOME math and reading games. We love Diaper Derby, Lucy's Closet, and Alien Lunchtime. The math games are limited to calculation, however there are lots of games to choose from.

Has games for multiple subjects. We love several of the games but they really enjoy the Math Man, Fruit Shoot, and Monkey Drive games. Math Man is in several of the different units in math and is kinda like Pac Man. We recently used the Math Man for converting improper fractions. There's several of the Math Man games. Fruit shoot will give skill practice. Kinda reminds me of fruit ninja! When you shoot the right fruit, it explodes!
