Rush hour game

To contact us Click HERE
Here's a neat little game that you can play online or purchase the physical version: Rush Hour (hat tip goes to Bon).

The goal is to free one of the vehicles  (the red one in the image) and let it slide out of the board. You simply slide the pieces in the direction of their orientation--either up/down or right/left.

Thinking of it as "rush hour" or traffic jam is a neat idea!

Play Rush Hour online here. I played it a little while; it was fun! Takes some logical thinking.

You can purchase the physical game at Amazon. It features four levels of difficulty, with 40 challenges. There are normal and junior versions.

Resource for challenging problems for middle school

To contact us Click HERE
Want to do some problem solving? MathCounts Handbook for 2012-2013 not only includes information about their programs, but also creative and fun 300 problems to work! Answers are included as well.

You could use these problems as challenging word problems or for problem solving workouts, not only for grades 6-8, but I'm sure for high school as well, since they are (mostly) not your typical math book problems but require some thinking.

Here's the direct link to the Handbook: http://mathcounts.org/document.doc?id=886

If that doesn't work, go to the program's home page and scroll down to see the link to MathCounts Handbook.

Equivalent fractions worksheets with pictures

To contact us Click HERE
A recent addition to my site Homeschoolmath.net... free worksheets for equivalent fractions with pie images (or not... they're optional).

There are five problem types to choose from:

1. Two fractions are given with 2 empty pie images to color in (e.g. 3/5 = 6/10).
2. There are 2 pie images that are already colored; the student writes both fractions.
3. Two pie images are given, one colored in, one not; the student writes both fractions.
4. There are 2 pie images to color, one fraction is given, one not (e.g. 4/5 =    /    )
5. Problems without any visual model; the student writes the missing numerator or denominator in one of the fractions (e.g. 2/3 =    /12).

 
Check them out! These are meant for grades 3 and 4 in the Common Core standards.
