Board Games: Monopoly-Tropical Tycoon DVD Game

We have played this game twice. It was a holiday purchase. In addition to having fun it is also a good way to practice those math skills. The DVD adds a nice touch as you have to go to it when you stop on Community Chest or Chance. You also use it for News Broadcasts where you have certain decisions to make. I see us playing this game again - sooner rather than later. It is suggested for 3+ players with an age recommendation of 8+. Again, you know your children so do what suits your family.

We have played it with two people and just had a "third" imaginary person that we took turns playing.

Board Games: Racko

Games are a definite favorite in our house. They are also a great addition to any homeschooling family's inventory. It is something you can do as a family while learning and reinforcing lessons.

Today we played Racko. The object of the game is to swap out the cards in your rack one by one. It is played in rounds. I found it a great way to work on the concept of sequential numbers as well as multiples of five. It can be played with 2 to 4 players and although the makers suggest being at least age 8 like anything else use your own discretion and knowledge of your child's abilities.

Here is a Calculator Widget I found

It can perform advanced math. Check it out

Website of the Day - SAT Quiz - Math Sampler

In my web surfing I came across this site that has a Math Sampler for the SAT. A good starting point as you or your children prepare to take the SAT or assess your current knowledge

Mathematics on the Web

My mind recently recalled another website we used when first starting out. AAAMath covered various levels and was pretty easy to use. In checking their website today I see they also have a spelling section but I have not checked that out.
