Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Appropriate as enrichment as it also incorporates higher order/pre-algebra skills. Students sink the computer's battleships by solving problems/equations/expressions using the Distributive Property. Great for unfocused learners as the game is highly engaging.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Must be set on 'hard' level of difficulty to deal with powers/exponents. Students determine the value of bases and exponents in order to form tic tac toe.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Step by step guide to solving expressions with practice problems (timed or untimed). Provides students with a resource and sample problems of how to solve one variable expressions, as well as opportunity for individual practice.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Select an operation and a maximum value and see how many times you can solve for 'x' in one minute. Allows students to practice simple problem solving strategies for variables.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Adjustable levels of difficulty, students solve order of operations problems to help the dinosaur build a stone pyramid. Students use their knowledge of order of operations to build a pyramid. Allows for differentiation by adding steps of the PEMDAS process.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Math teacher blog with a realistic approach to teaching word problems to students. Includes wonderful links. Teacher resource.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students practice solving equations of various operations- and are provided immediate feedback/breakdown of how they did on each type of problem. Great for teacher data. Students demonstrate knowledge of solving for variables in equations and can adjust difficulty level based on immediate feedback from the program.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students solve longer addition/subtraction equations and correct answers result in hitting teachers with dodgeballs (virtually, of course!) Highly engaging game as correct answers allow students to aim for their teachers in a simulated dodgeball experience. Perfect game for unfocused students- mixes PE and math!
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students enter either a function or data values and the graph of the information is formed using Java technology. Allows students to explore what various functions look like in graph form. Beneficial for students who struggle with fine motor skills to draw graphs by hand.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students enter X values and are given the Y values- they then have to determine the function in 'y=…." Form. Allows students to practice determining functions.
Contributed by Karen LaRossa (thanks!) - Students complete number sequences, adjustable levels of difficulty for differentiation. Students demonstrate their knowledge of sequences to crack the secret code.
