I'm excited that her H.E.R.O.E.S are excited about the new math blog. I'm not going to post comments this time around since we're just getting started but will in the future. Remember to keep your comments appropriate if you want them to be posted online! :-)
A few students asked if I could put up some sites for cool games to play online. I spend a lot of time online looking for games and other resources that I think the H.E.R.O.E.S will like and I think I found a few more tonight.
http://www.classbrain.com/artgames/publish/arithmetiles_games.shtml (Helps practice basic operations. You're given a target answer. Choose 2 tiles that are adjacent (next to) each other that will give that answer when you add, subtract, multiply, or divide them!)
http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/games/numbercop/numbercop_hotmath.swf (Number Cop to the rescue here! That's right. Use the arrows on your keyboard to move across lanes of traffic to find multiples of numbers. You can choose which multiples you want to find or you can choose another option and play to find prime numbers!)
http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/games/factortris/factortris_hotmath_sound.swf (I loved playing tetris on the original Nintendo when I was a kid. Create rectangles with an area of the target number. Then place the rectangle in the grid. Your goal of course is to clear lines on the grid so that your screen doesn't fill up!)
http://www.coolmath.com/math-mind-readers/index.html (You think I'm smart... check out this crazy smiley face! She's wicked smart!! She'll read your mind if you follow the directions. Some of you may have seen a variation of this. Do you know how it works?)
If you have a chance to play one or more of them, then let me know by leaving a comment.
What game did you play?
Did you like it?
Did you play it for review or practice?
Oh... and the internet is HUGE... so if you come across a math resource that you think could help us, then let me know what it is and I'll take a look. Maybe even post it for all to see! :-)
Have a great weekend and I'll see you all on Monday!

I played the last game with the monster and itguessed my symbol every time.
Madeline
Madeline did you notice anything about the numbers that you came up with each time? That is before the monster guessed your symbol? Try again and see if you notice any patterns!
I get it now! Evey number you pick ends up with the same symbol in the end. It's a trick!
-madeline
It's a bit of a trick, yes, but think about the math that you do to get the number/symbol you are thinking about. The number that you always come up with happens to be a multiple of a number too. :-)
