Funbrain

One of the best parts of writing this blog is the research. On Funbrain website, I played Math Baseball, Plural Girls, Proton Don, Grammar Gorillas, and Mathcar Racing.

Math Baseball - Each correct answer of an addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or even algebra problem results in a swing of the bat. Correct answers for more difficult questions result in more runs scored. Various degrees of difficulty

Plural Girls - A word such as "elf" is provided in singular form. Players choose the correct plural form of the word, in our example "elves." Advanced features require the player to spell the correct plural form of the word. Tough for politicians.

Proton Don - This game builds memorization knowledge of the symbols of the periodic table. Various degrees of difficulty.

Grammar Gorillas - Players are shown a sentence and asked to choose the noun, verb, adjective, etc. from the sentence. This game builds knowledge of parts of speech and word usage.

Mathcar Racing - I admit. I lost but I didn't understand the structure of the program. With in the highlighted columns or rows in a table, the player chooses the answer from math problems with the greatest value. A race ensues between the computer and the player on a racetrack.

This site also includes a teachers area to help in the choice of the appropriate game or activity. Good incentive for students that complete their work early.
