Setting up the Activity in your Classroom:
It is always a good idea to download any interactive material
before you bring a class of children into a computer lab. Depending
on your connection speed, many downloads can be lengthy because
of appealing graphics.
Depending on the grade level and maturity level of each class,
activities can be facilitated as independent work, collaborative
group work, or whole class instruction.

Track Progress: Grades 3–8
This Progress Chart
(PDF) allows students to track their progress as they practice
a specific skill set. Doing individual work at the computer, students
will fill out the chart, playing each game several times, trying
to beat their own best score each time. At the end of the session,
teachers can evaluate how students have progressed. See Assessment
and Evaluation.
