Community Review for Math Playground
My Take
I might not use this as a teacher tool, but I do like that it supports the learning that has taken place. It serves the kids because even when kids don't think they are proficient in math, they will play games from this site.
How I Use It
I teach a math club once a week before school to support students needing extra help with math. Math Playground is a great tool to introduce to the kids to use at home for extra practice with skills they need more practice with. The kids can easily pick up how to play the games and don't even know they are learning as they play.
