  Stephanie G. asked:

  I am in search of a good source of educational math games to play with my fourth-grader. He seems to learn best with games vs "drill and kill." Not necessarily online/computer games. I'm thinking more of games that we play together on a table or the floor that will help reinforce/provide practice for specific UPPER elementary math content such as improper fractions, mixed fractions, practice with long division, etc. Anyone else use math games like this? It's tedious to research each math concept on Pinterest-- hoping to find a compilation of math games all in one place. Thank you!

  Pemberton offers free tutoring services at the the Library. Also check the Pemberton Recreation department. That said, I pulled my son from Pemberton schools in third grade and have been homeschooling him since. He is 12 and now is taking Pre-Calculus. We don't believe in rote learning and instead concentrate on making Math fun and applicable to the real world. I would be more than happy to charge you an arm and a leg for tutoring. I minored in Math in college but don't have a Teaching Certificate. First though, I would try looking into Stanford's Math for Everyone, Realworldmath.org project based math lessons, and coolmathforkids. Two books that might interest you are Hands on Equations (no need to buy anything if you have a chess set and board games ;) ) and Moebius Noodles. He can work any of these in his spare time and might just make Math less horrible. Khan Academy is the best choice if you just want him to pass the tests. They are common core aligned, incremental lessons that he can use to expand on what he is learning in school.
