Cool Math Games: This website again incorporates fun and entertainment with the students learning. I have learned from researching math websites like this one that these games seem to be very beneficial. I would love to have a smart board in my room so that the students could play these games and work together. Getting the students to enjoy their work will make it stick which is what we want. Math is important and using these games will help these students succeed.

ICT Games: This website is great! It lets students learn about math while enjoying it. I think that students enjoy playing games. When they enjoy what they are doing it seems to stick better. I have seen children work with games online and on the computer and they get very involved. These games are very great for teaching math and let the students think they are playing. I would use this with either a smart board or during math centers.

This is an amazing website because it is interactive with the students! It holds the students attention and they enjoy doing it. It provides great examples and I have seen it used in the classroom. The students love working with this site and the games. It is a great way for students to enjoy doing math and not feel like they cannot do it. Math should be fun and this website makes it that way. I would love to use this in my classroom especially if there was a smart board so that it could be very interactive.
