Kakooma: Engaging Math Fact Utilization {Friday Appy Hour}

I'm starting something novel hither on the blog.

Each as well as every Fri I volition live on showcasing a website or app that I think y'all volition either honey using inwards your classroom or that volition brand your instruction life easier.

I'm calling the novel series, "Friday 'Appy' Hour" as well as kicking it off amongst a site I've been using inwards my classroom for the yesteryear 2 weeks that has been met amongst neat enthusiasm from my students.

It was created yesteryear math guru Greg Tang {you tin flame run across all of his awesome children's math literature books at the bottom of this post}.

It's called Kakooma (although I acknowledge that for the life of me I tin flame never retrieve that name..kazooma? kookoma?), it was created yesteryear Greg Tang as well as it is awesome.

You tin flame purpose it to job addition, negative numbers, multiplication as well as fractions which agency at that topographic point is something for everyone. Also, it has a diverseness of levels inside each surface area to enable y'all to easily differentiate for varied abilities.

Below are 2 covert shots from the add-on version showing the simplest as well as most complicated options for the puzzles.

In the ikon above, the finish is to produce upward one's heed which 2 numbers from the bold box are the addends as well as which is the sum. Upon clicking on the sum, the box volition live on filled amongst but that release as well as you'll motion on to the side yesteryear side box. After solving all 4 private puzzles y'all volition so purpose the large numbers inwards the 4 boxes to discovery the addends as well as amount of those.

The timer inwards the upper correct manus corner ends when the puzzle is complete. If educatee set inwards a incorrect response (or but endeavor guessing) additional fourth dimension is added on.

We purpose this on the Smartboard during Math Workshop as well as fifty-fifty bring an ongoing challenge amongst a exceed fourth dimension to beat. It tin flame live on played on the website or y'all tin flame purchase an app for the iPad.

Another neat affair close this site is that the materials tab includes printable versions of the puzzle. That agency y'all bring a super tardily way to offering to a greater extent than or less enrichment as well as challenge to your students who demand a lilliputian of that. :)
