Pick of the Week - Lure of the Labyrinth


Lure of the Labyrinth is a online pre-algebra middle-school math game developed in partnership with Maryland Public Television and MIT. In the game, underground monsters come to life as students plunge into a shadowy factory on a mission to rescue a missing pet. Students then progress through three sections, or "wings." Each is related to a different math strand such as proportions (including fractions and ratios), variables and equations, numbers and operations (including geometry, order of operations and modular arithmetic). Each of the three wings includes three puzzles, and each of the puzzles has three levels. The levels progress from easy to hard. And, continuing with the "rule of three," students have to successfully solve each puzzle three times before they can eliminate a room. You will need to sign up, but you don't need to confirm an email to play. Remember your username and password so the next time you play you can pick up where you left off! Try it and let me know how you liked it! :)
