FactDash is an activity shared with me by a parent volunteer and it is fabulous! It includes practice for addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication at various levels, and it works great on the SMART Board. Check it out! Happy Friday!

This is a fun Halloween Candy Game to count the calories in popular Halloween candy. Just drag pieces of candy into the pumpkin’s mouth to see how quickly the calories climb. The pumpkin will let you know if he likes it or if he’s had too much. Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Here is a fun game called Lucky Clover to play on the SMART Board today.The object is to find, by touching/clicking, all 10 four leaf clovers as quickly as possible.  Let the students take turns to see who gets the best score. Tip: There are lots of distractions on the site around this game. I tried using the Flash Game Maximizer extension in Firefox but it didn’t seem to work properly. Another suggestion would be to use the screen shade or spotlight tool to highlight just the game area. Have fun!

Ann and Addem’s Dartboard Game is a great narrated game from the Number Time section of the BBC website. In order to reach the target score, you must place the dart in the correct number spot on the dartboard. Remember that on a dartboard the outer spaces are double that of the inner ones. To move the darts, touch the dart to pick it up, then touch the spot where it should be released (this is not click, hold, drag, drop). There are also  options for 3 different levels and the ability to remove the timer. Have a look!
