How I Use It

I would use this in a computer station for students who need to strengthen basic addition and subtraction facts. I would have printed tracking sheets so students can record the games and their "scores". I will recommend this to parents as a homework website that is FREE! For advanced students I would recommend that they are challenged by other higher level games.

My Take

Parents ask for learning games. I highly recommend this website as students must use math skills in order to "PLAY" the games. For example, K students have to "decompose" numbers to add. The Kitten addition game has students select what makes a number (9= 2-7, 8-1, 6-3). The repetition enforces and strengthens basic facts. Much better than drilling with flash cards!

This website offers students math skills in an arcade game style format so they are learning while "playing".
