There were SO MANY games to choose from at first, it took a while to decide and try them out. the synonyms and antonyms games were very well received along with the dolphin money games and multiplication tractor pull.

This may seem like "drill and kill" on technology, but it has a very important place because inability to fluently use facts keeps students from using their working memory on harder math like word problems and tasks that require effort and many steps. Knowing facts quickly allows students to concentrate on other tasks. Sadly, most students associate learning basic facts with timed tests (which tend to cause some students to become stressed and lose the facts they knew). My students associate it with games, racing with each other (which means they WANT to be fast and challenge themselves to become faster!!) and playing games with great graphics. Not only that, but is shows the student which facts they get wrong and then my students often write them down so they can learn them and be better the next time. What's not to like?!!

This is a great resource. It's worth the money if you teach K-4 or have many students who need extra support. My kiddos loved it.

My students LOVE the fact that they can play against each other in the various games or play against other students in other locations. The competitiveness of many of the games makes it an attractive choice for free time activities. I love that it allows me to assign activities for extension or reinforcement and the students can challenge themselves at their own level.
