**Grade Level(s) K-8**

**Description:**  Math Playground is a kid friendly website that presents math in a fun light. It looks very much like a website that students would visit to play games, and that is what they can do here, but these games will help students improve their math skills. Students are offered games that look like your traditional computer games, but incorporate math into the objectives of the game and they are offered your traditional math games. Other than math games, students are also offered logic games to improve their problem solving skill and there are videos that answer questions submitted by students. The videos explain how to solve problems that students are having with their math homework.
