More math games to play!

Have you been playing Sushi Monster for a while and you need a new challenge? Try these games out! Some of them are decidedly difficult, especially at the harder levels. That's ok, because the students in room 204 know that having to struggle makes your brain grow more connections!

Ten Frame Math -
Ten frames are a great way to visualize numbers, especially if you are working on your tens facts. Play around with the levels here.

Gate -
In this game, you use place value to defeat the shadows, hopefully unlocking the mystery of the gate. At first, you will probably just add ones, tens, and hundreds to make the numbers, but as you get better and the game gets harder, you will build bigger numbers and subtract, too. At the higher levels, you have to use decimals, too, which we don't talk about in second grade, but you can probably figure out how they work as you play the game. Good luck, this is a hard one!

Battleship Numberline -
Enemy ships are located somewhere on the number line. As you play this game, you will work on locating whole numbers (and fractions at the harder levels) on a number line.

Lure of the Labrynth -
What on earth is going on in these three games? You are given very little information about how to play or how to solve this enormously challenging math puzzles, but keep trying things out and you'll pick them up on the tenth or eleventh try. These were designed for middle schoolers, so don't be discouraged if you have no idea what is going on at first.
