Hi, I'm Mr. H
I'm an 8th grade math teacher. Like most teachers, I'm always looking for ways to make practice feel less like a worksheet and more like something students actually want to do.
How this site started
I'd find great educational games online - the kind that make kids want to practice math - only to discover our school's internet filters blocked them. Most of those sites were never built with a classroom in mind: they were loaded with tracking, ads aimed at adults, or data collection that no school could responsibly allow in front of a room full of minors.
So I decided to create my own. This site is COPPA compliant from the ground up - no accounts, no logins, and no personal data collected from students. To help keep the games free, the site may show ads, but they are never personalized: the site is registered with Google as directed to children, so ads aren't based on anyone's browsing, and Google doesn't build profiles from visits here. That's not an afterthought here; it's the whole reason this site exists. It means a teacher can pull it up on a classroom projector or a school computer without worrying it'll get blocked or bring up something inappropriate.
Every game is designed by me, a math teacher
I personally design every game on this site - the math in each question, the levels, the hints, the wrong-answer explanations, and the way each game looks and plays. I plan each one the way I'd plan a lesson: with real students, and the range of levels they walk in at, in mind.
- Differentiated by design. Students can choose exactly which skills to practice - whether that's the basics of evaluating a power, or trickier territory like negative exponents - so a student who needs to shore up fundamentals and a student ready to be pushed can both be working at the right level at the same time.
- Built-in progression. Games start at an approachable difficulty and unlock a harder mode as students show they're ready, so the challenge grows with the student instead of overwhelming them on day one.
- Fun first, because engagement is what makes practice stick. Racing, shooting hoops, dodging traffic - the math is the obstacle standing between a student and the fun part, which is exactly the kind of motivation that gets kids to do twenty more problems than they would on paper.
