I am testing out this website to add sticky note comments on-line for possible use in my math class next year.  My wheels are spinning I tell you! LOL!  Would you mind adding a sticky to this board to help me test it out?

Still Having Trouble Dividing Fractions?

Factor Samurai App

A while back one of you got me addicted to Fruit Ninja.  And although it is a fun little diversion, it is not really a learning game - and I love when my kiddos play learning games!  So, today, I found Factor Samurai!

It is very similar to Fruit Ninja - only you slice composite numbers and try to avoid prime numbers.

You can select from a variety of levels from Grasshopper for beginners (which features smaller numbers) up to Master.

In this instance, would slice the 8 which would in turn break into 2 and 4, and you have to slice the 4 as it is another composite number.

Best part?  The app is free at the itunes app store!
Even better part? You can earn extra credit and earn $25 Malloy dollars by showing Mrs. Malloy your high score on your ipod or phone.  What teacher not only lets you play apps but tells you to play apps???

I do!
