Games for Extra Practice

Simple Maze Game - Practice entering ordered pairs to move a robot through a field on a coordinate plane,
Triangle Shoot - Click on the correct figure in your choice of several arcade-style shooting games: angles in degrees, angles by name (right, obtuse, acute), triangles by name (scalene, equilateral, isosceles).
Shapes Sort - Click and drag a variety of shapes into the correct categories as they move along an assembly line. Sort by Quadrilaterals (categorized by 4 equal sides, 2 equal sides, no equal sides) or Triangles (equilateral, isosceles, scalene.) To locate this activity, look for "Shapes" toward the bottom of the home page.
