Math Playground

     There is an issue that I want to write for a long time. Educational games. I want to touch upon the importance of games in children’ lives, we all realize this effect. I think that one of the easy ways of loving mathematics for children is computer games which kids cannot say no. What we need to do is determine how can we make this situation more useful for children. Integrating mathematics into games may be the best way to make their interests of games into something much more beneficial. By this way, educational process can be fun and appealing for children by overcoming the boringness of traditional classes.

     Let me introduce Math Playground for you. It is a website which you can reach the online mathematics games with good quality. In the website, there are some main parts such Math Games, Logic Games, Math Arcade, Story Math, and a lot of different categories. According to me, some of very good categories are Hidden Math Concepts, Visual Math Tools, and Brilliant Brain Workouts.

     For example, when you enter the category of Hidden Math Concepts, you can see the games separated by topics. 

     Let’s choose Reflect and Rotate game. You will see the screen like that. Game offers different opinions for you.

     Under the game screen, there is a table that indicate learning connections of game.

     The other method for categorizing the games in site is grade level. The content of the site covers topics from the first grade to sixth grade. When you enter the site, you can see the grade levels on the top of the page.

     These kinds of games allow the children to focus on the area of personal interest and improvement your problem solving and critical thinking skill when they have fun.

After a short time, I will share the writing which I mention my thoughts about game, educational game, and gamification.
