Kakooma or SatisFraction anyone?

A while back I went to a workshop by Greg Tang. As part of the workshop he showed us a math game that was on his website called Kakooma and it was really addictive. He showed how it can be used to get students noticing patterns and relationships between numbers. For students struggling with fractions, and negative numbers I found it is really helpful. You can challenge them to beat a certain time before they can move on to a more difficult level. for younger students it was great to practice addition and multiplication facts and notice certain patterns when adding and subtracting.

 
Another game that was great was SatisFraction. For the students who are uncomfortable with fractions it is a neat way to build up their confidence.

Check them out and let me know what you think.
