Math Playground Games
Algebra Land
Algebra Land helps 6th - 8th graders develop skills in the following strands: Ratio and Proportional Relationships, Expressions and Equations, and Statistics and Probability. Concepts focus on representations of ratio relationships, trip lines and the idea of a movement number, probability and random walks on mathematical objects, and introduction to functions.
Fraction Land
Fraction Land helps 3rd - 6th graders understand fractions. Concepts include working with unit fractions with a numerator of 1, adding and subtracting fractions, fraction equivalence, and adding/subtracting and multiplying and dividing fractions by whole numbers.
Flagway Land
Flagway Land helps 4th - 7th graders deepen and apply their number sense to a study of the Mobius Function, which categorizes the natural numbers into three mutually exclusive groups according to the prime factorization of the number. Students use algebraic representations of numbers to support categorization and multiplicative fluency skills. Flagway builds number sense and helps students apply algebraic expressions to solve a math problem.
Number Discovery Land
Number Discovery Land helps 2nd - 6th graders develop skills across the following strands: Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base 10, and Geometry. Concepts include fluency with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; categorization and fluency with odd/even, and prime/composite numbers; and analyzing shapes.
Innovation Land
Innovation Land is a featured space in the Math Playground where partners in the YPP Network showcase their unique math games and learning experiences. While many of these experiences conceptually align with one of the four original playground lands, you may occasionally find partners presenting their games within those other lands as well.
