Fun in the Holidays!

 

Lure_of_the_labyrinth

Today is the last day of term 3 and you have two weeks holiday before term 4 starts. While you are away, there are lots of things you can do to practise your maths learning:

  1. Go onto Mathletics and do the assigned tasks as well as games with other students around the world.
  2. Check out “Lure of the Labyrinth“, a game-based site for problem solving. This digital game for middle-school, pre-algebra students. It includes math-based puzzles wrapped into a narrative game in which students work to find their lost pet – and save the world from monsters. Linked to the national and state mathematics standards of USA and Maryland, it includes puzzles and games about proportion, ratio, fractions, operations and solving for variables.
  3. Scroll through this blog and look for some of the links to great maths games and interactives. leave me a comment to let me know which ones you liked best and what you have learnt.
  4. Do your Mathsmate homework sheet early – and look for some of the skill builders to help you solve those tricky problems that you always seem to get wrong.
