Website #11

LearningPlanet.com is a very cool website.  This site has online games for student’s preschool through the sixth grade.  One example of a learning game is a takeoff on the old game frogger.  The student picks what type of math word problem they would like to try (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).  The student works the problem, makes their monster cross a busy road and river, to land in a house that hopefully has the correct answer.   If the correct answer is chosen the player receives points and moves on to the next question.  In the teacher section there are activities, games, and puzzles for several subjects.  I liked this website and thought the games were interesting, fun and would hold the attention of the students.  What I didn't like was a lot of the material or games were not accessible to non-members.  This would be fine if the membership fees were less.  The cost is $39.95 per year.  I would probably use the site for the free material but not join.
