Factor Race (Algebra) at Mac App Store analyse

Begin at the starting gate with a race car. Move around the track to the finish line as you factor equations correctly. When you complete each level you earn a better race car. Ready, Get it correct, Zoooooommmm! Factor Race is a game where the player must identify the binomial factors of trinomial equations For example, factoring x2+x-2 into (x-1)(x+2). The game uses logic to develop cognitive math skills. The touch mechanic of the game engages children in a hand-on learning process, implementing kinesthetic learning. The game incorporates mathematical problems attuned to binomial and trinomial factoring, based upon problems from textbook materials.

The Virginia Standards of Learning targeted are for: MATH - 8th grade 8.4 The student will apply the order of pertains to evaluate algebraic expressions for given replacement values of the variables. Algebra I A.2 a) Applying the laws of exponents to perform operations on expressions b) Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing polynomials c) Factoring completely first and second degree binomials and trinomials in one or two variables. A.3 The students will express the square roots and cube roots of whole numbers and the square root of a monomial algebraic expression in the simplest radical form. Algebra II AII.1 a) Add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify rational algebraic expressions d) factor polynomials completely CREDITS This game was partially funded with an Enhancing Education Through Technology competitive grant from the Virginia Department of Education.
