Half-court Rounding - Online Game
Description: Half-court Rounding is a game in which students try to score as many points as possible by rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, or tenth. This is a perfect game across grade-levels, because students can choose to shoot free-throws (1 point – round to the nearest ten) jump shots (2 points – round to the nearest hundred) and three-pointers (round to the nearest tenth). Users can try any kind of shot within the game and have 90 seconds to score as many as points as possible and beat their opponent. If they answer incorrectly, the student misses the shot. Students can also choose a two-player game where they can play a friend or classmate.
Sweet 16 Word Madness
Description: Do you like the NCAA Basketball Tournament, commonly referred to as “March Madness?” If so, this game is for you. First choose your team. Then, use your word recognition and spelling skills to click on the basketball that completes the word at the top of the page. Choose correctly and you’ll hit a basket or three-pointer, choose incorrectly or too slowly and your opponent will score. Be careful, though, each round gets progressively tougher. You will have to be an expert in word completion to win the National Championship.
