Learn the states, Stack them up, Watch them topple!
Community Review for Stack the States
My Take
This app is great for students to learn some of the basic information about the 50 states. The game keeps students interested in learning the different facts by making it interactive and having the challenge of stacking odd shapes to reach a goal. One thing it could improve from is having the ability to add other facts to the lists of questions. This would improve how it could be used as an educational tool.
How I Use It
Students have competed against each other getting through the levels, needing to know the information to quickly progress. Students also have used the app alone helping to reinforce their understanding of the geography facts of the United States. Information that the game uses as clues to identify a state range from relation of shape to the name, initials, state flag, capital city, state nick name, boarder states, and major landmarks and cities.
