Happy New Year! To start the new year in math, let’s highlight FOUR updated math games. We’d also like to mention three other “fan-favorite” games that should have your attention this year. May your 2022 be packed with Legends of Learning assignments full of these games 🙂

Updates to Existing Games In Grades K-2

• Fortune’s 10, covering Addition to Make 10, has been updated to fix various performance errors that were blocking students from playing the game to completion.

Updates to Existing Games In Grades 3-5

• In Understanding Whole Number Division, Mad-th Trolls in The Sledgehammer of Division has a huge feature upgrade to save player progress and show text in Spanish (when chosen). From a general gameplay perspective, the game studio has added a navigation system and mini-map to smooth out the gaming experience.
• A special shout out to Jungle Kong, a game for Basic Multiplication and Division Word Problems. The developer quickly responded to a request from a school administrator to better label a page with academic content, which we’ll show further below in this post.

Updates to Existing Games In Grades 6-8

• A personal favorite, Irrational Veggies from Outer Space! has a plethora of adjustments to improve the gameplay experience for your students. Achievements are now stored in the user profile, and a finite practice mode has been added. Players can go directly to fight the veggies instead of taking the whole lecture, which is especially useful for anyone who has already played the game, or is re-starting from an earlier session. The game better renders dialogs in Spanish, and a more accurate Spanish translation is provided. This game covers the topic Understand Irrational Numbers.

Fan Favorite Math Games to Use in 2022

• Necromather – Destroy the Invasion  is one of the most popular games on our platform, and it covers Calculating Area topics in grades 3-5. Invoke the power of area to destroy hordes of monsters attacking your graveyard! 

• Personal Financial Literacy was one of the useful classes of my memory, and it continues to be a critical part of all student curriculum. Add Money Flow to your next assignment, and it will turn all the “dry” concepts of taxes, income and budgets into a game experience to remember.

• What is the probability that you add all of the above games to assignments this year AND have a great time with your students as they play? Obviously 100%. But in case my calculation is off, Probability Quest is an excellent choice to engage with concepts surrounding Compound Probability.

Happy New Year! Game studios were generous gift givers this holiday season as we have EIGHT new science games and FIVE updated science games to highlight. May your 2022 be packed with Legends of Learning assignments full of these games 🙂

New In Grades K-2

Kindergarten Natural Resources was a winner this past month as it has two new games ready for your students!

• In Happy Farm Natural Resources, your students will spend time outdoors on fruitful grounds, farming and using natural resources to ready some great produce for the market!
• World of Resources takes a more global view, as players will find out the differences between natural and man-made resources. Grow grass, feed animals, and find out where they prefer to live and grow!

Updates to Existing Games In Grades K-2

• Science School, a game addressing forces, motion, and interactions, has removed content covering magnets to better focus on the forces and motion concepts taught in most K-2 science classrooms. There is also improved Spanish translation!
• The Tale of Curious Nale, a game addressing patterns of objects in the sky, has removed content covering planets to better focus on the universe and solar system concepts taught in most K-2 classrooms.
• In organism structure and function, traits, and survival, Woodland Walk has fixed a bug where a lily pad could be chosen as an animal. (whoops…)

New In Grades 3-5

Let’s start with earth science topics where we have 3 new games to showcase:

• Erosive Voyage will be a great weathering and erosion adventure for your students. Find the mysterious treasure by helping Sloth and Rook navigate throughout the world full of challenges!
• “Water is just something we drink and takes up a lot of space on Earth right?” (Asks one of your students). Not so fast! Water has a very important role in many of Earth’s processes. Aquatic Adventure will show your students how. Heavy rainfall has flooded the village. Talk with a cast of colorful characters and play minigames to save the town!
• Okay so water has an effect on Earth’s systems, sweet. You can’t move on though without discussing human impacts on Earth’s systems. In Trash to Treasure, sift through all the garbage we produce on a quest to save the environment.

Elements of the Earth are awesome, we all know it. Let’s keep going with physical science and learn more about the principles that shape our experience on this big ole rock we call home:

• Light is perhaps one of the most under-appreciated resources we need daily. Do your students know that light also transfers energy from place to place? Happy Sun Farm  is here for your students to engage with this process, all while helping out at the local sun farm.

Updates to Existing Games In Grades 3-5

• Xenosteroid Park is one of our favorites from last month’s cohort of new games, and the game studio continues to make it even better. There are art improvements to continue to make the game pop visually, and there are new mechanics in the card game to smoothen that gameplay experience. It’s a great choice for your next assignment on Earth materials and systems!

New In Grades 6-8

Earth science appears to have received the most love recently, as both of our new middle school science games reside there. I guess we know Santa’s favorite science subject!

• Covering the role of sunlight and gravity in the water cycle, Novo Mundo Corporation: Water Cycle Engineer  will elevate your student’s first day in school back from break by giving them a very important job to do. Using knowledge of the water cycle and futuristic technology, transform planets and fulfill the dreams of various alien clients.
• Once the job with alien clients is done, let’s focus back on our own home planet to the tune of the fossil record. Join Earth Explorers on an underground adventure, descending deep into the Earth to discover what fossil remains have to teach us.

Updates to Existing Games In Grades 6-8

• Microlives is a reliable game for any of your assignments on cells and life, and it is updated with various art improvements to help players better visualize the concepts of this academic topic.

New In Grades 3-5

• Entering the atmosphere of elementary school earth science, let’s first land in Xensteroid Park. Enjoy all the attractions in this theme park for aliens, and exchange tickets for amazing prizes while you learn about earth materials and systems!
• Humans have been farming for tens of thousands of years, so we’ll be farming well into the future, right? Let’s assume so and add Farm of Future to your next assignment covering plant growth. Cultivating plants in spaceships will be very important to our future intergalactic space exploration! 
• Do you or your students wish you were on a lake in the summer, relaxing and fishing rather than withstanding this winter cold? Check out Good Fishing, where your students will do some fun fishing while also engaging in a lesson on biodiversity and changes to habitats.
• Let’s head to the laboratory and break out those chemicals! (Safely, of course). For your next lesson on chemical reactions, check out Chemibot Helps the City. You’ll be the grooviest robot in town, showing off your skills with physical and chemical changes.
• Magnets are pretty crazy. The good news is that they are fun to play with, especially when you’re using them to repel enemies in video games. (Did someone say cheat code?) Take a lesson for electric and magnetic forces head-on with Electric Guardian…heroism awaits!

Updates to Existing Games In Grades 3-5

• Beyond the Galaxy (Chemical Reactions) is updated with performance updates and new gameplay and academic features.

New In Grades 6-8

• Weather and climate may seem like an arbitrary topic to your students, but we all know there’s a lot of cool factors influencing weather. Give your students this insight with Climate Cities. How does geography relate to climate? And how does climate affect weather, where cities will need to equip themselves with appropriate weatherproofing? Send your students on a journey answering these questions!
• These long winter nights really remind us to not take light for granted. It’s just so sad when it’s dark outside at 5pm. So let’s have some fun with light in Guiding Lights, where there’s great gameplay content for transmission and refraction of light. Don’t let the simple game visuals fool you, there are some challenging puzzles to solve here!
• With review season looming, we’re sure you’ll have coverage of the scientific method. Luckily, we have a new game on this topic, in case your students played through all our existing games at the beginning of the year. Science Pirates will push your students to use this tried and true method to uncover the mystery behind the missing fish!
