Carrot Sticks

http://www.carrotsticks.com/

This is a site designed for students from grades 1 - 5 to learn and develop math skills. Students have the option of answering sums by themselves or competing against an opponent.

You do not have to register to play.

The free option only offers addition sums, the paid options also offers subtraction, multiplication and division.

First, students can create their own character by clicking on the item they want to change and then clicking on the arrows which appear. This activity could extend into a writing activity or group discussion where students can explain why their character looks the way they do. Students can change skin colour, hair style, eyes, mouth, shirt, pants, shoes and the item in the hand.

The character appears at the bottom of the screen.

The sum appears and students simply type in the answer.

There is a panel on the left hand side where you can choose the type of sum (if in paid version) and choose the level of difficulty.

Carrot Sticks is a fun and easy to use site making it perfect for younger students.
