HI, I know lots of great preschool educational game sites like starfall, and fisherprice,and nick jr. but does a nyone know of at website where my son can practice basic additon and subtraction on line? thanks
thanks ladies i'll research them.
Select "1st grade" near the top, then find what function you want him to practice (i.e. addition), then select "practice". It has a timer, and lets him know whether each answer is right or wrong.
My kids used this site all the way through school.

I used to teach middle school math...some of these may be older than 1st grade level, but they are ones I used sometimes in my class. I am sure there are also lower grade levels on many of these sites.

It's like video games that require kids to answer math facts. The better they do on the facts, the better they do in the game.
My daughter loves www.StarFall.com and www.ABCya.com The latter especially!
My son loves coolmath4kids.com He would play it for hours if I let him!
Veronica,
I would check with his teacher. Our school offers tech ed as a "special" and I know the teacher sends home websites all the time. Of course, I don't have the name of one right in front of me. I believe one might be www.tvokids.com That is one that my son has been on through the school. It doesn't just have math but other thinking strategies too. Good luck.
check out internet4classrooms.com
there are links there to all kinds of activities on different websites with explanations of each activity. Also, the activities are broken down by level and by subject.
This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but you might check out Webkinz.com. I had no idea this was out there, but someone gave my daughters Webkinz toys (stuffed animals) for Christmas this year and so we went onto the website to check it out. The deal is, it's sort of a little online world that is very kid-safe. Anyhow, they can earn points and buy things (not real things, but online things) for their little Webkinz characters by going to "quizzy's corner." There are math, social studies, reading, and other kinds of quizzes for each age group, starting with 4 year olds and going up to older grade school ages. Both my 4 and 7 year olds play on Webkinz as much as I'll let them. I don't think they even realize they're studying when they're on that site. Now granted, it's not ALL academic on Webkinz. A lot of it is just playing and messing around - but they are so eager to do these quizzes. You've got to love a website that is kid-safe, teaches them something, and that they love. Anyhow, just a thought!
I was just at Goodwill looking for learning games for the kids and they had many cd's there for just a couple dollars. Good luck!
I found a website a while ago that I really loved. www.enchantedlearning.com. It has a wide variety of different activities.
My daughter, who is in 3rd grade, is using "first in math". I don't know if it is free or if you have to subscribe. She has an account at her school and she uses it at home also. From what she told me, even her sister who will be in 1st grade can use it.
