3 Additional Resources
FunBrain Games
This site offers game for a variety of subjects, and the
games are categorized according to grade level. The adds that appear on the
side of the site are kid-friendly, which is reassuring. The games offered on
this site are all very different from one another, and I think variety is
important when working with a classroom full of unique individuals. This site
can be used in the classroom as a math station or center. Because the games are
categorized by grade level it would be easy to simply instruct students to play
4th grade games. Students who may be struggling or those who need to
be challenged can be instructed to move up or down a grade level. This is an
easy way to make accommodations in the classroom without it being obvious to
all of the students.
Knowledge Adventure
Knowledge Adventure offers hundreds of games, and the skill
level for each game varies. I think it’s important that children have the
option of starting off with something simple but progressing towards a more
challenging activity. The layout of this website is very easy to understand,
which makes this site extremely kid-friendly. The progression of games on this
site would be very useful in the classroom because students may advance at
their own pace.
Math Blaster
Math Blaster is a great way for kids to practice math skills
while having fun playing in a virtual world. Math Blaster focuses on advanced
concepts that build on what the children have learned in 3rd grade.
This game serves as a great review of what has been learned as well as a great
way to practice new material being covered. Math Blaster would be great in the
classroom because it’s engaging and helpful. All students benefit from
reviewing past material, and this game is a great way to do so.
