Hey friends!
Since I’m at home sick today, I thought you might enjoy doing a little “research” for me! I have always been curious about Cool Math.com. It claims to be a site that’s about math, but there are many games on it that have nothing to do with math at all! I would like to use the site at school, but I think we need to make sure that there are some legitimate math games that reinforce skills.
Here’s where you come in! Follow this link to the Cool Math games section. This is where they supposedly have all the games that have to do with math. Please play one or more of these games and write a review of the game in the comment section below. Here’s how I’d like your review to look (feel free to copy and paste this part and fill it in with your thoughts):
Name of game:

Everyone must post at least one review to receive credit for working today. Please make sure you get your review written and posted. If there is extra time, you may explore other games (and write other reviews too if you want!).
Happy Gaming!
Smiles,
Mrs. B 🙂

This sounds like a fun game to play during Rainy Day Recess today!
It’s funny that you think it was “annoying AND fun”! I wonder if anyone else feels that way!
This game is fun! We played it a lot last year so I know you’re familiar with it. I wish you wrote a little more in the Comments section so I know what exactly you liked about the game.
I wonder why they would put a game like this on Cool Math if it doesn’t have anything to do with math. Any ideas?
You forgot to tell how to play the game! Are you any good at it?
You forgot to give this one a math rating. Do you think it was good math practice, or just a fun game to play when you need a brain break?
