Intelligent Play. Diane Royer firstname.lastname@example.org. The Plan. 1. Gaming in the classing – a quick show and tell of some of my favorite sites, with 5-10 minutes for you to explore. (15-20 minutes)

1. Gaming in the classing – a quick show and tell of some of my favorite sites, with 5-10 minutes for you to explore. (15-20 minutes)
2. Coding/programming with Scratch – an overview of why coding, then we will begin coding with an xy coordinate plane introductory activity, followed by a transformational geometry activity. (30-35 minutes)
3. Wrap up – resources, questions, comments
Not only a gaming site, but also includes practice problems matched to the common core. These practice sets are called “prodigies” and are ten questions ranging from easy to “on fire”. Students earn points for solving problems. Points are turned into digital medals.
Has global competitions. Just this year, my students have played other students in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Hong Kong.
Adding and subtracting integers; uses numberline, begins easy & progresses
Ordering decimals, fractions, and percents, in various combinations with problem solving as you try and turn a profit.
Find missing angle measures, work with parallel lines and transversals, polygons, and circles
Circumference, Pythagorean Theorem, and trigonometry
One step equations, function machine, multi-step equations, and linear equations
Reflections, rotations, dilations, translations, and all combinations
*All of the games in Calculation Nation are organized around content from upper elementary through middle grade curriculum. These are strategy games focusing on fractions, factors, multiples, symmetry, area, and more.
*You can play against the computer, or challenge someone located anywhere in the USA
*You can “level up” as you win more games.
*Registration is free but it requires an email address, but it can be a fake one like email@example.com
Not a gaming site, but a good resource matched to Common Core, with ability to differentiate and enrich from first grade through Algebra 2 and Geometry.
Amazon purchased TenMarks and has just released free App for Kindle Fire.
Includes video lessons, math practice and real-time tutoring.
I use the basic, free version; paid subscription offers more features.
Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create interactive art, stories, simulations, games and of course, math, plus you have ability to share those creations online.
Scratch is a building block program and is a great tool for STEM/STEAM programs.
*I chose to have the stand alone version available for download to my students’ computers. This eliminated the “no internet available at home” issues, and eliminated COPPA compliance issues.
