Description: Welcome to Whimsical Windows. It is here, behind one of the 15 windows, where you can find the long lost black unicorn stallion. Each window, however, is locked and only a special equation can open it. To find the equation, you'll need to look at the relationship between the ordered pairs etched into each window. One equation governs each of the ordered pairs. Such a relationship is referred to as a function. Click on a window and find the equation. If you are correct, the window will open and you'll discover one of forty possible animated animals. You may find a tiger, giraffe, giant panda, koala, or others such as sabertooth tiger, wholly mammoth, the kraken, white unicorn, and of course the mythical and mysterious black unicorn stallion. The game ends, and all of the windows open when you solve the equation for the window that opens to the black unicorn stallion.

Description: Buddy System is a fun and very challenging game that requires students to the play the fictional role of a teacher who must pair his or her students for field trip. "Pairs" must present "equal" terms. One is a proportion and one is a fraction. For example, a pair might be a student with 1/2 and another student with 2.4/4.8. To make it more fun, the "students" are historical figures and current celebrities. Very challenging!

Description: Lunch Line is a fun (and funny) game in which students practice their fractions, decimals, and percentages ordering skills. Students must arrange the celebrities and historical figures in a lunch line based on the values floating on top of their heads from least to greatest. If students arrange all ten correctly, the lunch line will proceed smoothly to the cafeteria in a straight line and they’ll be able to print out a certificate showing the line leader. If figures are positioned incorrectly, the lunch line will stagger crookedly and inefficiently to the cafeteria, thereby angering the teacher.
