Why Math Games?

Math games are an essential part of learning math for all students. Online math games make it easy to differentiate instruction for student preferences and mathematics levels.

Math Games Sites

As a math teacher I noticed there were two kinds of math games sites. Some were academic but my math students found boring, and other math games sites that students enjoyed but those math games sites also contained games that lacked any math :(.

My Math Games Mission

I decided it was time to get involved and create a math games site that solved this mathematics games dilemma. Every game on HoodaMath.com is personally screened by me, a public school mathematics teacher. I grew up on Number Munchers, a math game created 25 years ago. So the first thing I did was to replicate it so that students could play that math game for free online. You can find the Number Eaters multiplication game and similar math games in the Arithmetic Games section of HoodaMath.com. There are also a lot of Logic Games available on the web, I gathered a collection of these and created some math games of our own. Geometry can be a hard subject to make fun and real using a computer, but I discovered there is a lot of geometry games already created and dispursed on the web.

Math Movies Contest Coming Soon!

I discovered that for High School Mathematics Projects students have started to create Math Movies that can be played on the web. Soon Hooda Math will start a contest with a great prize (hmm.. Maybe an Ipod Touch) for math students to upload their math movie projects and then there will be an online voting system for Hooda Math fans to vote for their favorite Math Movies by their peers.

Our Math Games have Support

Don't take my word for it, Hooda Math was also recognized by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. We are also recognized by the Canadian Mathematical Society's Cool Math Site of the Week. Hooda Math Blog was voted by Scholastic's Instructor Magazine's into the Top 20 Teacher Blogs.

Teacher's - you are going to want to read this. . .

Math timed tests have long been a tool in our math classrooms for quick student assessment on the basic math facts. Hooda Math has created a math game to automate this assessment for math classrooms. We created a Math Timed Tests game that will automatically email student results to their math teachers. We think you will find the online math timed tests invaluable to your weekly math lesson plans. Did we mention that the Math Timed Tests is completely free of charge.

Math Worksheets too...

Math worksheets to go hand in hand with our math games now exist on their own page: Math Worksheets.
