Fun Math



I think math can be fun and games as long as kids are still retaining information from it. It can't be all fun and games and no learning whatsoever. A way to make it fun is to take something that interests whatever age group you're trying to teach, and putting that concept into a game. The best way to teach kids math is to make a game that asks a problem, and lets you play if you answer it right. It makes kids strive to get the problems right so they can progress in the game. That way they learn how to do the problems. Here are some links to math websites i found. They have some math games on them.

Transtar


Yesterday I played a math game at www.mangahigh.com It was a pretty fun game, and I learned a lot from it. The game was called Transtar. The game is so fun, and you actually learn from it too. The game is set in outerspace, and has a super hero, just like our game is going to. Minus the whole outterspace thing. The super hero isn't a ninja either. Transtar really helped me with my transitions.
