This is a great tool to work with struggling algebra students. It help build up the students numeracy. Another great feature is that the website scaffolds and help the students with the order of operations.

I like that you can assign a specific math topic to certain students for them to practice and improve their skills.

I like Manga High best as assigned lessons aligned with the curriculum. This options allows for students to work individually at their own pace while still being able to do the fun, competitive games that help them build their skills. It also allows me to gage their mastery and suggest additional topics for them to work on if they are struggling or need additional help. I wish the free version had a little more access to the analytics, but it is still an awesome resource that students love and love learning from.

I knew that I loved Manga High when my 15-17 year olds loved it. Our first stab at using it for whole class instruction was the mummy game and as the levels progressed, my students felt not only challenged but excited to progress through the game. The terminology used does not always align with some of the terms that we use in the US, but for our kids, it also added another view of how others do the same math but sometimes through a different lens. Let me be clear in saying that this is simply an electronic interactive self-checking worksheet. Where Manga High struggles at is on meaningful application and thought inducing questioning.
