Share the games on your class wiki or on video using a video sharing site such as SchoolTube reviewed here. Have students work in small groups to design a math game that incorporates engaging pop culture characters and themes with a topic like the games in Sumdog. Tag(s): addition (127), game based learning (163), numbers (120), operations (75), subtraction (110) In the ClassroomĪ great interactive site to use for skills related practice.
FREE SUMDOG GAME FREE
See the Teachers Link for more information about what is free and what is for a fee. Be aware: only certain features are available without a PAID subscription. The pop culture friendly interface will intrigue students and help them enjoy practicing numeration topics.
Sumdog addresses over 100 numeracy topics and has 10 different levels within each topic. Concepts range from addition to square roots adapting to student skill level. My own investigations confirm this to be case, so I am satisfied that it’s completely safe for pupils to use in school and at home.Sumdog's free math games are designed to improve numeracy for students in upper elementary school through middle school. The most they could do, essentially, is answer maths questions together!” We do not allow free chat or anything of that nature, and there is no way for another user outside of the school to find out any further information about this student. Other users on the website will be able to see the student’s first name and last initial (we automatically abbreviate this), their avatar, and the name of their school. Normally, we would only record a student’s name and activity on the site. “Pupil information is securely stored on our server and can only be seen by us and other teachers at your school.

Students can practise each through a range of games (e.g. The main focuses (foci?) are addition and multiplication tables, although there are also challenges for negative numbers, subtraction, division and grouping (e.g. It has a nice kids’-cartoon-meets-graffiti look and pupils can chart their progress with topics by whitewashing blocks on a spray-painted wall. The content is free and it is free to enlist your classes* and create competitions and challenges. Happily, I’ve found another website, this time with a specific numeracy focus (making it a little less challenging and subject-specific than MangaHigh, and so a happy complement) – Sumdog. I wrote earlier about how most online ‘maths’ games are very poor as games or even worse in terms of mathematical content.
