What a HIT this website is! It is so difficult to find websites that 6th graders have not been to yet! Honestly, it is a HIT at my house too! Greg Tang is the author of many, many math books that I used in my lessons when I taught 3rd grade math. This site offers very challenging exercises for all ages!
Mastery means being able to apply strategies quickly and effortlessly. Kakooma gets students to do hundreds of mental calculations with just a few puzzles. It’s challenging fun that sharpens computational and problem-solving skills. Once you get to the website gregtangmath.com click KAKOOMA at the top. Then you have 4 choices - addition, negatives, multiplication, and fractions. Once you choose your topic, then you choose your level and number of variables...(Trust me - start with the 4 easy first!) Once you click your level, YOUR TIME STARTS! The object is to click the answer as fast as you can. A wrong answer adds time to your score! Ask your student to show you how to play! We had competitions where consistent and steady won the race. We found that the first finishers had 5 - 6 minutes of penalty time! Also on the site are games to play that are very challenging! Finally the MATERIALS tab offers printables at all levels. Have fun and send me some feedback on what you thought of the site!
