Potential to be Fun, but Overwhelming Overall
Math Playground has potential. It covers quite a few math subjects from fractions to pre-algebra and also includes different skill levels. I also enjoy that it's art style is definitely designed to attract young children's attentions and most kids will find the games engaging. However, the amount of games is simply overwhelming. If the featured games are not what you are looking for and you click on the "more games" option you will find yourself with a wall of a large number of games, each with a different concept than the next. There is simply no time to go through them all and having to scroll through so many makes the sight a little unappealing. As the description on Common Sense Education says, there are also many advertisements that can be seen as distracting and many of the games are unrelated to math or do not help build reliable math skills.

Decent tool for retaining math
Integrating games into learning is a unique method that is especially beneficial to younger kids. However, this website may sometimes seem to blurs the line between actually learning and having fun. Kids may become too focused on the game that it may deviate from learning math. Nevertheless, math is integrated and if used properly, can be a good site for children.

Can be used to reinforce math, but it's more about the games.
As a teaching tool, this might not be the best option. It has fun games and ways to reinforce basic arithmetic, but should only be used as leisure time activities. It's more centered around the games aspect then the teaching, and that's likely what appeals to the kids more.

It isn't actually math.
My overall opinion is that there isn't a single reason to bring this into the classroom as an educational resource. I didn't like a single thing about it, and think it is a waste of educators' time. In my opinion, it was just a website created for kids so that they could play un-educational games during class time.

Fun way to learn math
The site is fun and interactive with a ton of game for every grade level and math subject. The site does have ads though, which may become a problem for interactivity if the student or computer does not have an adblock software. Other than that I think the site is great and could be used by everyone.

Fun and Engaging Way of Educating Young Learners
Math Playground is a good resource with several different types of games that make learning fun for kids. I like how the website lets you choose which grade level you want to play a game from, ranging from K–6. There are lots of different categories of games. I think my one criticism of this website would be that it is called “Math Playground”, but not all of the games revolve around math. Some games can be repetitive at times, but otherwise I think this website is a great resource for young kids.

Overall Experience
Learners may have fun learning with number juggling Playground's grouping of captivating math recreations and exercises. The standard pop-ups and notices, in any case, degrade from the general client involvement and can be irritating. The intrusive promoting brings down the program's general quality when the data is well-designed and taught. Upgrading the client encounter and making Math Playground a more valuable learning instrument would be conceivable through better advertisement administration.

Offers a great variety of engaging, knowledge-building games for a variety of ages and grade levels.
I am not an educator, I am a college student exploring and reviewing different educational apps and websites for an assignment. Nevertheless, I was pretty impressed by all that Math Playground has to offer! The website must offer hundreds and hundreds of games, so there truly is a lot to choose from. There are different sections for math games, logic games, story games, skill games, and multiplayer games. Within the category of math games, the player can then choose between add and subtract games, multiply and divide games, shapes and graphs games, money and time games, fractions games, and even pre-algebra games. The user can also choose any grade level from K-6. I even took the time to test out some of the games myself, including Canoe Puppies, Dolphin Dash Money, Kangaroo Hop, and Pattern Blocks (and yes, I did find myself having fun while engaging my brain!) These games are all very fun and engaging, but still have educational value at the same time. Because there are so many games to choose from and because many of the games are multiplayer, it seems to me that younger students might stay engaged for a long time playing these games, all while still having their minds engaged and using their knowledge and math skills. I also like that, for educator’s purposes, each game explains the learning connections of the game itself, including the essential skills used and the Common Core Connections. The only complaint that I have about the site (which is unfortunately a major complaint) is the amount of ads and pop up’s that there are while navigating the website, which can be an issue for young students trying to navigate the site.
