Hooda Math Manipulatives
This site is a great resource for both math manipulatives and games that are both interactive and engaging for students. The manipulatives offered are listed below:
- Base-Ten Blocks
- Hundreds Chart
- Number Line for Integer Addition
- Algebra Tiles
- Algebra Balance Equations
When you open the manipulatives, the mathematical practice standard that is addressed is written at the top of the page in a blue box. For example, when using the number line for integer addition, the mathematical practice standard identified is "CCSS.Math.Practice.MP4 Model with mathematics". The manipulatives would be great for whole group activities and teaching.
With the Hooda Math Games, you are able to choose your grade level, a game category and/or math subject. Then, you have clicked on the game and the page opens, the math practice standard addressed by the game is listed at the below the game in the black area (white lettering). For example, if you play the game "Number Eaters", you are addressing "CCSS.Math.Practice.MP6 Attend to precision."
These games are great resources to be used by students who finish early as extension work and practice. They could also be used in a math center to provide students with extra practice of a mathematical skill.
Standards:
These games and manipulatives are meant for use by students in grades K-12. The mathematical domains addressed by these interactive manipulatives and games are as follows: couting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, number and operations -- fractions, expressions and equations, functions, measurement and data, geometry.
**In my professional opinion, this site should be closely monitored and the games should be thoroughly researched by the teacher before students have free reign of this website. Some games will better address standards.**
