Fuel the Brain

Fuel the Brain

Fuel the Brain is a website catering to elementary school mathematics objectives, particularly grades K-3, by providing games, printables and interactives for students to learn and practice math concepts.  When you open the page, you will see a bar at the top where you can choose form different activities and resources.  If you scroll down the page, you will see the "featured game", the "most popular" games list and the "most recent" games list.  Scroll down a bit further to find a list of games broken up into the mathematics domains covered in grades K-3 (you can choose your desired grade level by clicking the bubble above the list of learning domains).  When you click on your selected game, the game will load.  Below the game window, there will be directions for and descriptions of the game.  the same organizational structure is present for both the printables and the interactives pages as well.
In the classroom, the printables are great resources for independent practice, homework and/or centers work.  The games and interactives are great to use on the white board for whole group or small group, providing interactive and engaging ways for students to work on the mathematics skills.

Standards:
The games and interactives address the following mathematical domains in grades K-3: counting and cardinality, number and operations in base ten, operations and algebraic thinking, measurement, data and geometry.
