Math Widgets II 4+

Math Widgets II is the sequel to Math Widgets and is a collection of four interactive tools for teaching and learning basic math concepts. The Multibase Table Widget helps students understand the meaning of the place value system by challenging them to represent numbers using different number systems. By sliding an L-shaped marker, the student selects the appropriate base on a chart. Then within the table of numbers, the student selected the number equivalent to the given Base 10 number.

The Arrow Math Widget displays a 5 x 5 grid with either numbers, letters or emojis in each cell. A starting point and a set of arrow directions is given. The challenge is to follow the arrows and to tap the end point. Arrow math helps students get better at solving procedural directions that are often need to solve multistep math problems.

The Tinker Totals Widget provides practice in solving problems using mental math. A set of geometric shapes create an arrangement of intersections. A set of numbers is given and the challenge is to arrange the numbers so that the numbers along each line add to the same sum.

The Peg Puzzle Party displays 24 pegs in a cross pattern. A move consists of a checkers like jump across a page to a vacant position. The game ends when no more moves are possible. The goal is to end the game with the fewest number of pegs remaining.

Math Widgets is designed to provide math enrichment for elementary and middle school age students and is appropriate for school or home use.
