Sumdog

A great website for kids that I came across recently is http://www.sumdog.com/.  This site allows students to compete in math games to earn points for their avatar or to reach a new animal level.  There are so many kids who spend a lot of time playing video games these days and this is a great way for them to learn something positive while playing.  I plan on using this occassionally for Friday math game day as well as a center for early work finishers.  Teachers can adjust the difficulty and track student progress as well as set up classroom competitions.
