Leon
the Chameleon’s Math Dojo Leon
the Chameleon’s Math Dojo builds
mental computation skills through an engaging arcade style game.
Many elementary
school mathematics programs follow the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics Standards (NCTM). According
to the NCTM Standard, Number and Operations, children should develop
fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing whole numbers.
Leon the Chameleon’s Math Dojo promotes efficient learning
of mental computation and fluency in basic arithmetic combinations. As kids play the
game, they use their mental computational skills and knowledge of basic
arithmetic facts. Throughout
the game, Leon’s animated martial arts moves provide engaging
reinforcement. To support the
development of speed and fluency, the game is timed; however, kids do have
the option of playing an untimed version where they can practice and expand
their skills. Playing Leon
the Chameleon’s Math Dojo helps kids develop reasoning skills, gain
mathematical insight and build confidence in their ability to do
mathematics. The "Did You
Know That…?" area exposes kids to various educational facts about
chameleons and martial arts. If the
"Read It To Me" button is selected, that same information is spoken and
kids can follow along as each word is highlighted.
Kids can
practice each math area repeatedly. When
a game is over, they can view their scores for immediate feedback. Kids have
a great time playing Leon the Chameleon’s Math Dojo and as
they do, build their mental computation skills too! |
