Games and Resources for Extra Practice

Some students have been asking for Resources for Extra Practice. In my mind the most enjoyable way to improve your Math skills on your own is with some good games. I'd suggest looking for games that challenges your skill and that you enjoy playing.

This pinboard has resources found by myself and by students. There are lots of individual games pinned here, as well as sites with their own collections of games. Check it out!

Pinboard of Number topics - has games involving fractions, operations with integers (adding, subtrating, multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers), and ratios and rates
