My Take
The website is very user friendly, with interactive games for kids but also lessons designed already for teachers. The games offer great extension activities to those who need extra practice. In addition, the site can be utilized for many age levels.
How I Use It
I would use it as an extension, guided practice, or homework based site. Some of the lesson plans can be used for direct instruction.
