Fun with math using sports-themed games!
The Percentages Made Easy and Sports Math 2-Pack is a collection of
sports-themed games intended to motivate and help students practice their math
skills. Nice visual appeal, the game format is appealing to both boys and
girls. The program has clear, easy to follow audio, which provides
directions. Students can play against another student or alone.
Sports Math
Sports Math is a collection of games designed to let students practice their
math skills under the enthusiastic direction of sports desk anchor Les Dynam and
roving reporter Sam Mathews who introduce each game and comment on the action
and progress. Kick a "fractioned" soccer ball through a goal
post or measure your skill at long jump in meters; it's all about using math
skills in everyday life until taught concepts are fully learned!
Percentages Made Easy
Percentages Made Easy has five interactive math games: Ski Jump, Magic Shop,
Pizza Topper, Computer Virus and Treasure Hunter. Each game focuses on a
different aspect of percentages: locating percentages on a number line,
calculating percentages to find a sales price, graphically representing
percentages, identifying equivalent percentage/fractions/decimals, or solving
percentage word ("story") problems. A Parent/Teacher Option
section allows for customization of the program with specific percentage sets
and/or specific games to play.
