What's seven times eight? How about eight times
eight? Six times nine? I'd love to sit here all day but I think I
have laundry to do. It's common knowledge that computers are very
good at repetitive tasks. They simply never tire. Which makes them
perfect study partners for drill and practice. With that in mind, I
set out to find the best math flashcards on the Internet. Here are my
picks.
A+ Math Flashcards earns its grade with a large selection of Java
and non-Java flashcards covering fifteen subjects from addition and
counting money to algebra and geometric areas. The Java flashcards
are "faster and more fun," but the non-Java cards will work on all
browsers, including WebTV. Flashcard Creator is a unique feature for
creating your own printable flashcards for addition, subtraction,
multiplication or division with numbers from one to twelve. Having
trouble memorizing your sevens and eights? Flashcard Creator allows
you to specify which numbers you want on your custom cards.
Options abound at Allmath Flashcards. First, choose your operators
(any combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division.) Then choose what size operands (from ten up to a hundred)
and if you want to keep score. Finally you have the option of
AutoFlash, which will change cards automatically at a variety of
speeds, from every two seconds up to every minute. This really keeps
things moving -- and adds a bit of game show excitement!
Start by simply choosing either add/subtract or multiply/divide.
When the colorful Java applet square appears in a separate window,
follow the directions to enter your name, date and teacher's name.
The best feature here is the detailed scoring available under Report
Card. Although Basic Facts in also available in a non-Java version
(look for the link near the bottom of the page) I liked the Java
version of Basic Facts Practice because you select your answers with
the click of mouse, which I find faster than typing.
Although these flashcards only cover the basic operands (addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division), you can advance to harder
problems because Flashcards for Kids allows you to specify a level of
complexity and to set the size of the numbers up to 10,000. Other
choices include scoring, a timer, and whether to display the
equations vertically or horizontally. Even with all these choices,
these flashcards do not use Java or Shockwave, which means they can
be accessed by older browsers and WebTV.
Quia is a treasure trove of more than thirty math activities each
of which includes flashcards and a Concentration-style matching game.
Topics range from basic addition to algebra terminology. The best
click, however, is Math Journey where you can practice addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division and rounding at four levels.
"Travel around the world by answering math problems. The journey
begins and ends in London, and has stops in 30 cities along the way.
To board the plane to each new city, you must answer a math problem
correctly. If you get a problem wrong, you have 'missed your flight.'
Miss three flights and the game is over."
