Descartes' Cove, the well-respected computer math game from JHU, geared for 6th-8th graders.
Kriston,
I'm familiar with Bill Nye, but not with Descartes' Cove. Could you enlighten me? I've been searching for a computer math game for my DS. Everything that I've found so far has been either too easy or too hard (or dry) for him. I'm having trouble finding something in the 6-8th grade range that he considers fun. Very curious!
I need something to get him to put the Lego Star Wars game down, since it was only a brief summertime excursion and not intended for the school year. (It has been put up on a high shelf now that school has started!) He loves games like Chemicus and Physicus, where you have to wonder around and solve clues to science puzzles in order to progress through the game. But he doesn't like math games that are more focused on drills and problems. I've probably goofed by letting him play too many exciting computer games. Time for a brief detox and withdrawal, I guess.
