This large collection of math activities was organized by a math specialist (former 5th grade teacher). The activities are organized into categories based upon the topic beginning with numbers and moving up in levels to statistics and probability. In addition to selecting games by math concept, use the grade level links to choose games appropriate for first through sixth grade. Many, but not all, activities include correlations to Common Core Math Standards. Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the home page to find a series of video explanations of math topics. Teachers, also check out the link for teachers that includes number lines, hundreds charts, pattern block activities, and much more.

This interactive tangram activity consists of a series of challenges, each involving 7 randomly selected, timed puzzles. Points are awarded for correctly solving each puzzle, and players can earn bonus points for speed. Note: tangram pieces cannot be rotated, making this a slightly easier spatial activity, perfect for elementary students.
