YOUR SUPER CHALLENGE:
(Adult to read aloud.) Your challenge is to complete any 5 games from YOUR grade level. You may do any combination of Mid-level or Advanced level games as long as they are of YOUR grade. A game is only completed when you finish all the questions in the game. You may try some games first to see which ones you would like to play.
If you shut the game down, you will have to play from the start again. If you write down your answers on the worksheet as you play, you can catch up to where you left the game. (The worksheet is optional.)
Once you have fully finished 5 games, you have completed your challenge and may download your Certificate of Congratulations! But don’t stop there, challenge YOURSELF to see how many more games you can complete!

Students explain time durations. They describe two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects. Students describe data display. Students count to and from 100 and locate numbers on a number line. They carry out simple additions and subtractions using counting strategies. They partition numbers using place value. They continue simple patterns involving numbers and objects. Students order objects based on lengths and capacities using informal units. They tell time to the half-hour. They use the language of direction to move from place to place. Students classify outcomes of simple familiar events.
