Hello everyone!

Congratulations on the completion of another school year! Right now you are only thinking of enjoying a great summer...and I wish you all a terrific and safe summer break.  At some point, however, you might be looking for a way to stay tuned up, to review, to get in shape for the beginning of a new school year.   So here are some web sites which might be a fun way for you to sharpen your skills, stretch your problem solving ability, or simply play some logic and strategy games.  You'll have to do a bit of exploring when you get onto these sites so don't be afraid to check out the various links.  These sites have a lot of free math on them. Some provide games, some provide practice, some help you work on your number skills.

Remember to check with your parents whenever you go to an internet site.  Most of the games and activities can be accessed directly from the site but once in a while, you might be told to download a game if you want to play it.  Do not download anything without checking with your parents and getting their permission.

                                          "Number Balls"
