What Users Love About the App

“This site was created by a teacher that knew what she was doing. Exploring math in the everyday world, encouraging students to try open-ended activities, and even providing a selection of math themed craft project ideas are just some of the ways students can build their enjoyment of and confidence with mathematics.”

“I liked all the different games that helped understand math. I would definitely use this as a class so that we are all on the same page.”

“Many of the activities encourage open-ended thinking and exploration as opposed to drill and kill. This site would be great in centers or for individual exploration. Students can easily engage in the unique activities.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“If you are looking for a website with new, flashy, current graphics and font, this is not it. The graphics, fonts, and animations are dated.”

“One word of caution: many of the gaming activities run on a MicroWorlds plug-in which you would likely need to download in order to use those sections.”
