When in doubt, THROW IT OUT!

I don't think Coolmath Games is a good resource for teachers to use because most of the games students play do not teach or enforce math. If the goal is to have students practice math, other sites should be used. This resource has a variety of different games, however it does enforce much educational value to its users. I have used Coolmath as a student and none of the games I played were math related. Some of the popular games were Papa's Taco Mia or Sugar Sugar, both of which offer no educational value at all. If it were to be used as a resource tool, the teacher would have to closely monitor each student to ensure they are not playin games that don't contribute to learning.

You shouldn't use this unless your trying to just let your students play games.

All these "teachers" are saying he site is filled to the brim with malware and spyware. Just use an ad-blocker to prevent the kids from clicking on the malicious ads that are there. No visibility, no chance. All these teachers are also saying that the site is completely useless yet this site is great for leaning strategy, increasing reading skills, and general problem solving skills for all ages. It looks appealing to the younger generation and is identified as a gaming website so it attracts a ton of traffic every year. There is nothing bad with that. Most of these teachers teach algebra, calculus, just any form of basic math and completely dismiss this site as it doesn't involve their actual subject directly. Once again the site identifies itself as a gaming website created be the people who made an actually educational website: www.coolmath.com that actually does focus on mathematics and reading skills, but not necessarily strategy, and general problem solving. People should do their research before blowing up a website with bad reviews.
