Education games for mathematics and other curriculum focuses. They can be played on a variety of platforms/devices too.

Hi all, I came across this fantastic game-based learning website. This site is perfect for kindergarten through 5th-grade students who are practicing spelling words and math skills. I highly recommend that you check this website out.

The federal education program appropriated funds "based on good test scores in math, science, and reading," she said, but it did not distribute money for history or civics. O¹Connor¹s new web site aims to right that wrong. Launched on May 24, iCivics.org is a rebranded, expanded version of an earlier site called OurCourts.org. "Barely one-third of Americans can even name the three branches of government, much less say what they do," O'Connor said. "… I'm worried." Games on iCivics include "Do I Have A Right," in which the player runs a virtual firm specializing in constitutional law; "Executive Command," which offers a chance to play president; "Supreme Decision," about the Supreme Court; "Branches of Power," which gives the player control of all three branches of government; and "LawCraft," in which the player is a member of Congress. The iCivics program is based at Georgetown University Law School. O'Connor is the project founder and leads the board of the nonprofit iCivics Inc., iCivics spokesman Jeffrey Curley said. The project began in 2007 and is in use at schools around the country.

For years, people have made the mistake in believing they can keep their mind sharp by merely doing crossword puzzles (although recently, Sudoku seems to have taken its place).
