Educational math game - Lure of the Labyrinth
Much has been written recently about the use of educational games in classrooms. Recent research is showing positive results in achievement when students engage in good educational games.
Lure of the Labyrinth is a FREE pre-Algebra game created by game designers at MIT's Education Arcade, the Art Design Company Fablevision, and the Maryland Department of Education.
There are wonderful resources for teachers, as well as ideas for using the game or the "puzzles" in the classroom environment.
Definitely worth a 'play'!
