Searching for online games was definitely one of the most enjoyable things of the 23 things. There are lots of online math games to choose from. However, the majority of math games are geared toward elementary or middle school level mathematics. Some games are very entertaining but not that beneficial while other games are very beneficial but not that entertaining. My goal was to find the games that are both entertaining and beneficial. Here are the top three that I found:
1) Solving Systems of Equations Battleship is a game on Quia that requires students to solve a systems of linear equations for each time they hit one of their opponent's ships. It also includes problems that have no solution and those that have an infinite number of solutions.
2) Algebra vs. the Cockroaches is a high quality game that asks students to write the correct equation for the line that the cockroaches are crawling along in order to eliminate them. It gives students good practice with writing the slope-intercept form of linear equations.
3) X Detectives has a series of games of varying levels of difficulty that help students practice and understand solving systems of equations, graphical transformations, working with positive and negative numbers, and graphing linear equations.
