I am finally getting to work in a primary classroom with a smart board this year and am finding myself using it again and again. Other primary classrooms I am in do not have smart boards so I have found using these same activities at student computers by showing a small group how to play and then leaving it open for partner or individual practice time. I also have teachers who are incorporating these activities into their center or choice time as well with great success. All of these games are FREE and do not require an account, a log-in or other time wasters. I am currently using these games in primary classrooms but many of them have quite a range of skills.

Works just like the count by 10 version but allows students to count by 5's. The start number pictured is 0 but that changes just as it does in the count by 10 version |
Butterfly 10 Frame
Number Bond Machine
This is a fantastic game that is used to practice a set of very important skills. There are three levels. The first level is pairs of numbers that make 5. The second level is pairs of numbers that make 10. (both of these are K common core standards but you better believe you have first and second graders who STILL need practice on these 2 levels). Level 3 is pairs that make 100 which I think is a super important skill for second and third graders and I am so happy to add this game to my cache of ways to practice combinations of 100
Raceway Number Values
The common core is very specific about students using the symbols <, > and = to compare numbers at various levels and grades. The work with these symbols needs to begin in grade 1 and I always find kids need more practice with these ideas. Here is a fun way to give them that practice. The numbers at level 1 start out very small and by the time you get to level 2, you are comparing many different types of numbers and they get quite large as well. I have used this game in grades 1-5.
How do you use a smart board or computers to help your students develop numeracy skills?

Here is a look at one from level 2. If you have first or second graders, start with level 1 which begins by having you compare 2 one digit numbers. |
