Questions teachers ask
Are these games aligned to 8th grade standards?
Yes. Every game lists the Common Core standards it practices (8.EE, 8.F, 8.G and 8.SP), and the Pre-Algebra games are also aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards. The standards list on this page links to games for each one.
Will these work for Pre-Algebra or an accelerated class?
Yes. The Pre-Algebra games cover the Oklahoma Pre-Algebra standards (exponents, functions, slope, systems and the Pythagorean theorem), and there are separate pages for Algebra 1 and Geometry games when your students are ready to move up.
Do students need logins or WiFi?
No. There are no student accounts, and once a game is downloaded it works offline. It runs on Chromebooks, laptops and smartboards.
Can I try a game before I buy it?
Yes. Every game has a free demo on its page. Games are $5 each, or $150 for all 266 games and every future game.
