Math Websites to Build Skills

There is so much for our children to learn in the area of Mathematics! It is very important that our kids learn basic math computation skills to provide them with a successful future.

Did you know?

Students who do well in math are much more likely to graduate from high school and college, even if those careers are not in a STEM field. According to The Gates Foundation, kids who complete high school Algebra 1 by 9th grade are more likely to complete a college education; while those who fail Algebra 1 only have a 1 in 5 chance of graduating from High School.

Please take the time to help your child practice the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by introducing them to some fun (and free!) learning sites.

Here are a few excellent websites for math practice skills:

• Fun Brain

• Math Playground

• Kids Numbers

• AAA Math

• Cool Math

• A+ Math

• Multiplication

• Khan Academy Math

Are there any other math apps or tools you use at home to improve your child's math skills? Let us know what your recommendations are in the comments or share them in the Penn Hills Parents Initiative group page on Facebook to get the discussion going!
