Count On!
Count On is the continuation of Maths Year 2000 from the DfES.

Star Tower
Poor old duck is having trouble putting numbers in the right order. Can you help her?
Also try The Sums Dispenser which creates sets of 10 sums. You can choose the type of sum and the level of difficulty. The sums will be marked when you have finished. Are you any good at co-ordinates? The Magic Map is incomplete. You have to put various symbols in the right places on the map.

The first five activities are just a small selection from: www.funbrain.com/index/html
where you can find lots more Maths games and online resources!

Math Baseball
FUNBRAIN will give you a maths problem. Enter the answer to the problem and hit the "Swing" button. If your answer is correct, you will get a hit. FUNBRAIN will decide if the hit is a single, double, triple, or home run based on the difficulty of the problem. If your answer is wrong, you will get an out. The game is over after three outs. Choose from Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or all four operations and four levels of difficulty.

What's the Point?
Using co-ordinates.

Soccer Shoot-out
Score and Save by correctly answering math problems. First you shoot, then try to save the shot by FunBrain. Remember to reduce your answers (fractions only).

Fresh Baked Fractions
You are shown four fractions. Three of the fractions are equivalent. They can all be simplified to to the same fraction. Click on the fraction that is not equal to the others. Choose from four levels of difficulty.

Shape Surveyor
Choose what you would like to play - perimeters and/or areas - and hit "Start Digging" to begin the game.

Primary Games
