Graphing Whack-A-Mole

Kim Estes — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:05:07 +0000

You loved the arcade game “Whack-A-Mole” as a kid…where you used a rubber mallet to try to whack a mole as it popped out of a hole. This game teaches students coordinates, plotting, and graphing by using the same game. The wiley mole appears at different points on your graph. You must quickly select the correct coordinates of the mole so you can “whack” it before it gets all of your food! Earn points and play any of the three available levels - easy, medium, and hard.

Online Graphing Game

Kim Estes — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:01:00 +0000

Use this game to help you teach quadrants and basic graphing in math and science class. Set up like the old fashioned Battleship game, students enter the graphing coordinates where they would like to hide their pieces. They then compete against the computer, having to actually click on the plotted point the computer chooses to mark the computer’s choices, and entering coordinates to locate the computers pieces. Fun for all ages.
