The dozens of interactive math games offered here are not divided by grade level. The games can direct your kids to practice a variety of math skills, including arithmetic and fractions. You can find games that work for your child by looking for topics that match the school math curriculum. Below each game's title is a short description. This is usually the place to find out what concept will be covered, and to get a basic idea of the level. Many of the games are suitable for third graders.

These games use popular kids' themes, like outer space and farms, to make math fun. One game, called Bobber's Farm, asks kids to review odd and even numbers and fractions. Some of the games mix different math skills, so a few questions might use multiplication and the next might be a greater-than or less-than problem.
