BBC Math Games for Kids, Skills for Teens

To contact us Click HERE
BBC Maths is a British interactive math website designed to help kids learn and practice K-12 math skills.  No, I did not misspell "Maths".  That is the British word for "math".  Whatever way you say it - math or maths - it's still one of the best comprehensive websites out there for students of any country to review (or "revise", as the British say) math concepts.  There are four parts to BBC Maths that are described in more detail below. 

BBC Maths Schools KS1 - Higher Bitesize (K-12)

BBC Math Games for K-2

 KS1 Bitesize Games is for kids in early elementary (K-2) classes.  It helps them learn numeracy - number sense and operations - skills. These includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, telling time, money (using British currency), number sequences, place value, measurements, 2D and 3D shapes, and organizing data. The child selects a skill and difficulty level. Then let the games begin! There is also a printable worksheet for each activity.

KS2 Bitesize is for kids in grades 3-5. The math skills on this site include higher level numeracy skills, fractions, patterns, and simple percentages, shapes, data, and measurements and space.

Each skill has three parts. The first is a read explains a concept, such as decimals. The second part is an activity or game that helps the student practice the skill. The third part is a short interactive quiz to assess the student's mastery of the skill.

For teachers, there are accompanying lesson plans.  Also each activity includes flash code that you can copy and paste into you website or blog, so that your students can use it from your website.   Here's an example:



Secondary Maths is for middle and high school students (roughly grades 6-10). The focus is on skills in advanced numeracy, including order of operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, and exponents. The site builds on skills in geometry, including measurements, shapes and space.  And it introduces algebra forumulas, inequalities, equations, coordinates, graphs and sequences.  To help students master these skills, there are activities in several sections.

KS3 Bitesize (similar to KS2) consists of a Revise (review), activity, and test for each skill.
A Maths game show provides skill practice.
The Learning Zone Broadband has a searchable database of brief video clips that help teachers illustrate some of the math concepts (note that these clips are only accessible in Great Britain).
GCSE Bitesize has "bite-size" reviews on high school level math in advanced number skills, algebra, geometry, measurements and data handling.  As with the others, there is a revise (review), sometimes an activity, and a test for each skill.

Finally, Higher Bitesize provides practice for upper high school (grades 10-12) and AP math skills,  There are reviews and tests of concepts in algebra - functions, logarithms, polynomials, quadratic theory, and recurrence equations.  There are reviews of calculus concepts in differentiation and integration.  Geometry reviews include circle, straight line and vectors.  And trigonometry reviews consist of compound and multiple angles, radians and equations, and wave function.

BBC Maths is one useful source for review and practice.  If you're looking for more free interactive math games, lessons and practice websites, you'll find more than 360 listed on
