not the assigned post topic, but..

I wanted to share 2 interactive games that help kids navigate the number grid.
This one is a completed grid that I use as a Guess my Number game. Kids make educated guesses about the number you are thinking of and when they tap or click on that number a paint splat appears on it. They use their understanding of greater than and less than as I announce if my number is greater or less than their guessed # .

This one is a blank # grid and a number is displayed on the corner. Students use their knowledge of the # grid to locate the #, if they tap or click on the correct #, a dog bone comes flying out. If they tap the wrong #, that number is displayed so they can use that to navigate to the correct one.

Thanks for sharing the two interactive games that help kids navigate the number grid. I've already tried them out. I'm always looking for computer games to enhance my students learning.

I just tried both games. I loved the 100 chart one where the bones come flying out. I'm not sure of the first one. Fun, but I couldn't connect any meaning to it right now.
