"Parents need to know that Mathmateer is an educational arithmetic and basic math game. Kids solve problems -- choosing from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division -- to earn money to build rockets. Each operation includes questions at three difficulty levels, with more difficult problems earning kids more money. When they've earned enough money, kids can design and build their own rockets, which can then be launched into space on missions. Kids help guide the rocket on its trajectory by tilting the device. Missions cover such topics as odd and even numbers, money, shapes, telling time, fractions, and decimals. When the rocket reaches space, kids tap numbers or answers that fit the mission as quickly as possible before the rocket reenters the atmosphere and lands. Kids are awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals if they attain a certain score for the mission. Mathmateer allows multiple profiles, so up to five kids can design rockets and earn medals, as well as choose profile names and avatars. WHAT KIDS CAN LEARN SUBJECTS Math Science SKILLS Thinking & Reasoning Creativity See full learning rating details ENGAGEMENT Space theme saturates the whole game, making the arcade-style play really fun. The placement of math problems in space is awkward, though, and can be hard to see in the heat of beat-the-clock play. LEARNING APPROACH Although math isn't baked into the rocket part, it is a physics-learning experience. The math content is rich, covering all four operations, money, time, even and odd numbers, and shapes on six levels, from beginner to genius. SUPPORT Figuring out how to launch the rockets takes some trial and error since there are no instructions. Stats on the rocket's flight and on math problems answered correctly are reported but not tracked over time.

"At Storyboard That, we have come up with lots of fun ways to incorporate storyboarding into the classroom after reading. However, teachers emailed and asked for activities that students can take part in while reading. So, we are proud to present a chapter summary activity, the Chapter Recap. It's great to watch a story unfold, and now students can create a storyboard that shows what happened in each chapter, as they are reading. It's like a comic strip version of the novel!"

"Activate is built around the idea of playlists. Most people (and especially kids) are familiar with this concept because of its popularity in music. An educational playlist is similar. Assembled by teachers, a playlist is a compilation of free, open resources built around a theme and designed to help students with their current classroom topics. Playlists can include resources like readings, videos, worksheets, games and quizzes, and they are typically specific to grade, topic and core standards. Students can try out multiple ways to learn and work through the playlists independently, at their own pace. Teachers can also make playlists to share information and resources with their colleagues."
