Electronic math worksheets are delivered in the form of software programs or websites. Parents can select the type and difficulty of the math problems to present to the children. As students answer each question, they are immediately told if the answer is right or wrong and given the correct solution. Electronic work sheets are less intimidating than books as one problem is introduced at a time. Free websites you can use to find electronic worksheets are AAAmath.com, math.com and schoolexpress.com.
Students can play their way to math literacy with the help of electronic math toys. Math toys can be purchased at most department stores and may resemble PDAs, calculators or have their own innovative style. Electronic math toys are used to drill important math skills such as counting, addition, subtraction and multiplication. Math toys are great for keeping in your car for long and short trips. Some the best math toys are Turbo Twist by LeapFrog, Math Whiz or Math Shark by Educational Insights and V.Smile by VTech.
Kids seem to learn a lot more when they don't realize they are learning. Math video games can serve this purpose. In addition to being fun, a study by the University of Central Florida has shown that math video games have been proven to raise math scores. If children are focusing on getting from level "A" to level "B," or solving a mystery, they tend to just do the math portion to get to the next step. Using math video games is easier than begging your child to do another work sheet. Some popular math video games are MathBlaster for Windows or Nintendo DS, Math Missions for Windows by Scholastic and Reader Rabbit Math Adventure for Mac or Windows by The Learning Co. You also can find free games online and math game applications for your iPod or iTouch.
