MathBoard Addition


MathBoard Addition is an application aimed at assessing student’s addition skills. This gamee has various addition games such as quizzes, an addition problem-solution match game, and a find the sign game.  All of these games give students feedback and allow students to save their results. Students have the option during the quiz to use the “blackboard” feature. This blackboard feature allows for students write down their ideas. The game also has a built in addition chart for students to use and manipulate. Mathboard has a variety of different applications that focuses on a variety of skills. This makes the application easy to use for multiple grade levels.



In my classroom, I would use this application for assessment purposes. Students can all take a quiz, and I could see the progress of the quizzes. It is not a super “fun” application, so it might not be what a teacher is looking for if the teacher wants to have a center where students are going to be extremely self-motivated. It is still a great application that could easily be used as an assessment tool. This saves the teacher time because the application makes the quizzes.
