Gaming in Education - I am so excited to share the following gaming resources with math teachers!
The following games are primarily designed for middle school students, but the concepts and videos might be appropriate in some manner from upper elementary grades through algebra in high school.
Math by Design - http://mathbydesign.thinkport.org/ - Flossville Town Park and Windjammer Environmental Center transforms students into junior architects.
Do students in your class ask "How will math help me when I grow up? Math in Action videos (found in Math by Design) help students learn how math is used everyday in a variety of careers, such as, how does a cake decorator/designer use math?
Proportionland - http://www.aptv.org/aptplus/flashlibrary/ - ProportionLand draws students in to “reason” their way through the eight interactive Attractions in this amusement park. Students hop on and enjoy the rides, but they must also explore and apply proportional reasoning skills to solve a variety of science-based, real world problems.
Rock-N-Roll Road Trip - http://www.stem.aetn.org/ - Rock-n Roll Road Trip World Tour is an experience for students to take a trip around the world with a rock band while solving real-life problems using measurement, ratio, and proportion.
Scale City - http://www.ket.org/scalecity/ - The games found in Scale City help students learn about the mathematics of scale. There are eight different games including World Chicken Festival, Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Horse Park, and more!
