 Write a paragraph or two describing the software
o On this game, students practice their addition and subtraction skills while playing
an interactive game. The students must solve the problem and get it right, to
progress in the game. There are over 150 activities available! Something I like
about the game is that there are “carry” boxes above numbers for when
regrouping is necessary.
 Write a paragraph or two on your impressions of the software and possibly how you see
the software being used in your class
o I love this! I like the colors because they are visually pleasing, and the interactive
aspects. I feel that this would be a very useful drill and practice tool, and I can
definitely see myself using this in my classroom. I like how the game has sound
effects, for when the student answers the question.
 Does the software still pass?
o Yes! I would definitely use this in my classroom for drill and practice.
