What it is: Super Math World is a site that has been around a LONG time… I mean, it is on my tenkely.org site for crying out loud! I made that site a good 8 years ago. I took a look at it again today and am very impressed with the updates and changes that have been made. Super Math World isn’t a totally free site but it does have a LOT of free content that kids can access. To utilize the free portions of Super Math World, login as a guest by clicking the “Guest” button. There are math games that teach and reinforce concepts for kindergarten through twelfth grade. Free topics include: adding, measures, number patterns, percentages, place value, area, estimating, fractions, negative numbers, set theory, venn diagrams, and series. The kids will enjoy the arcade-like practice area.
How to integrate Super Math World into the classroom: Super Math World makes a great computer center activity during math. The games are quick-enough that students can filter through classroom computers for their turn over a few periods. The games would also make fun whole-class interactive whiteboard games. These are intended to be one player, so you can split your students into teams and have them take turns at the board. Keep a tally of the correct responses to find out which team is the “winner”. My students always really enjoyed this type of friendly competition.
Of course, the site also makes a great practice area for kids in a computer lab setting. Some of the games are multi-player so kids can team up on computers to play.
Tips: The paid subscription brings you LOTS more games (and concepts). If your students enjoy the site, it may be worth getting the subscription.

Hey Kelly,
This looks awesome and I found something that I was going to use with my kids tomorrow. However, when I went back the topics that were free and locked had changed…..and then when I went back again, they had changed again? That’s a bit disappointing isn’t it!
Anyway, I devour every update on your blog so keep up your excellent posts!

Oh no! What a bummer…a shame that you can’t count on the same activities being available each time.
