created by NCTM - Calculation Nation™ uses the power of the Web to let students challenge opponents from anywhere in the world. At the same time, students are able to challenge themselves by investigating significant mathematical content and practicing fundamental skills. The element of competition adds an extra layer of excitement.
"The games on Calculation Nation™ provide an entertaining environment where students can explore rich mathematics," said Jim Rubillo, Executive Director of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). "Through these games, students are exposed to the same mathematical topics that they see in class as well as those that are recommended in Curriculum Focal Points."
Lots of game show PowerPoint templates, including Jeopardy, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, Wheel of Fortune, Price is right, Family Feud, and more. Includes directions, sounds and music.
Developed in collaboration between Maryland Public Television, MIT's Education Arcade, and FableVision.

A ground-breaking online learning game blends cutting-edge design, graphic novel storytelling and stimulating game play to plunge middle school students into a captivating 21st century learning adventure.
Labyrinth's mysterious world unfolds when students encounter animated monsters and challenging math puzzles that deepen students' understanding of critical pre-algebra skills. Math topics: ratios, proportions, fractions, variables, number and operations
"A great way to build the foundation skills that today's elementary school curriculum requires. These learning games and songs are fun, teach important skills for preschool and elementary school kids and they're free."
The goal of this project is to provide teachers a list of common terms or phrases aimed at improving vocabulary development of students in Tennessee. Although there is no single best way to teach terms and phrases, Dr. Marzano's research and theory on vocabulary development does point to a few generalizations that provide strong guidance. This site is dedicated to the sixth step in that process by providing a collection of games and activities designed to review and strengthen vocabulary development.
