Students Can Create Problems for the Game
Teachers, students, parents, families
Anyone can create a real life word problem for the game.
A team of math teachers review the problems to make sure they are challenging and at the correct level
If the problems are approved, they become part of the game
Imagine playing an ipad app game that you helped create!
