Math, History and ELA for Grades 3 to 8

Four things that make us different
CROSS-CURRICULAR
All of our games teach math in the context of Native American or Latin American history and culture. Games need a story, so we made that story historically accurate. See below for grade level and topics
MORE THAN A GAME, MORE THAN JUST PROBLEMS
We make games that teach as well as toss out problems. Our games include hundreds of animated videos and web pages to explain concepts.
HIGH-QUALITY STANDARDS-ALIGNED GAMES
Students can play augmented reality apps in multiple languages. They’ll learn fractions in a virtual world with Ojibwe avatars. Or, learn division using our platform with casual games where students earn points to make their own camp. We make games that students want to play.
RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS
We have videos, PowerPoint presentations and lesson plans on our Teacher Resources site that we update daily. We have teacher reports that show how long students have played and how many questions they answered correctly. Here’s one example, from Making Camp Premium. Teachers, sign up for our weekly newsletter of free lesson plans, tips and other resources.
Software by Grade and Topic
We’ve categorized the software by the grades where it’s predominantly used. We offer broad ranges because schools and students vary. (Some schools teach fractions in Grade 5 to 6.) Multiplication may still be reviewed in fourth grade at some schools.
Note: Even if you don’t have the devices to run a particular game, you are still free to use the videos and other supplemental resources.
