Thing # 6

While scrolling through the go2web20.net website, I noticed many different applications and tools that would be helpful and useful to most of us in many ways.  The tool that I chose to select was CarrotSticks Online Math Games.  I liked this because it would be very helpful to any child that is learning basic math skills; however, after digging a little deeper I realized that it is only free for practicing addition.  If you would like to practice subtraction, multiplication, and division then you must pay $29.95 for the complete subscription.  I think that it is fun that the kids can make their own avatar, and compete against others in math challenges.  I also thought it was neat that awards were emailed to the parent upon their child's achievement.  I think that CarrotSticks Online Math Games would be a useful addition to any classroom that taught basic math skills; it seems to be a fun, interactive, and educational tool for children that want or need to practice their math.
