The Cafeteria and the place where they mix the potions was my favourite....feel the same way about the vats. I haven't looked at it for a little while but I like your approach. I'll get going and maybe we can compare notes.

I sometimes go thru a puzzle in class before we go to the lab. In the lab, they only play the game & solve the puzzles for coins. I played the game myself until I had to blow up the underground tunnels - it is very addicting! And it helped when…

Do you find that they can follow the game? I noticed that the directions for finding rooms is more clear than it was last year...or maybe I "get" it this year. I will be getting my kids on it next week. Do you have them go directly to the…

Hi Kevin, This sounds very interesting. I find that there are so many resources that keeping track of them is not so easy. I teach grade 7 and 8 math in a laptop school and this year decided to put the sites together in topics. I find that my…

MATH TEACHERS NEEDED! Collaborative Web Resource Project

Thumbnail
I work at a laptop school in India and we have tons of resources and cool web tools that we use. I want to take all these resources and share them in a single place where students, parents, and teachers can have a one-stop shop for all things dealing with math education. I am looking for math teachers who are willing to collaborate on this - add ideas, materials, etc. If you're interested in having some conversations around this, please let me know.…See More
