Evaluating Websites

Room 10,

Greetings! I hope all is well and that you are enjoying school! Today we are going to do two activities. The first activity you will visit two web sites. They are both math sites and the links are below.

http://www.kidsnumbers.com/

http://www.brainormous.com/

As you visit these sites think about a few things: Is it easy to move around the site? Are the games too easy, too difficult or just right for your grade level? What do you think about the graphics? Is there anything else that you would like to comment on concerning the site(s)?

After you have experienced the site, I want you to evaluate it. Review the questions (above) that you read before visiting the site(s) and post a message that evaluates one of the two sites you checked out. Your post will need to be at least one paragraph and it will answer the questions above.

Before you begin review the directions for posting on the blog.
1. At the bottom of this post, click where it says “Comments”.
2. Type your paragraph in the “Leave your Comment” box.
3. Type in the Word Verification.
4. Type in the Username alvarado & Password *******.
5. Click on the orange “Publish your Comment” tab.

Good luck I look forward to what your opinions about these sites are!

I like both of the websites. The reason is because they are math websites. The Kids Numbers website was cool. I think that the Add It Up Game was fun. This is because there is a sum target and the time starts at 100. The Brainourmous website is cool, too. The Multiflyer Game was also fun. This is because it has a nice space sound. This is why I like both of the websites.

I liked the games. They were my grade level. Some a little easy but still fun and egicating. I liked math for kids more. Not as good grafics but better games.

I prefered Brainormous a lot better than Addition Flash cards. First of all,Addition Flash Cards has games probably for kids entering 3rd and 2nd grade.The graphics are horrible too. On the other hand, Brainormous has great graphics and the games are actually fun. On Addition Flash Cards, they just have games that require writing in answers. So in my opinion Brainormous is the best, if you like mathbrain and funbrain, you'll like Brainormous

I think brainormous was okay. I mean how it looks thats horibble, yet the games are okay. Their derections are so bad!It also needs more color. Now that I think of it was bad.

Kidsnumbers is exicting. Brainormous was boring. I didn't like it. On kidsnumbers it was fun. I liked kidsnumbers. (Milky) Maya

I thuought the brainiac thingamujigger was better. Even though it wasn't that good, it had better graphics and was easier to move around in. The games were all boring but the ones on the kid math games were very bad. There was one good game on it that was below my grade level but was pretty fun. It was called something like sunny math. Overall, I would not like to go to any of the sites again. 'Bye, Chow (Caio)

Brainormous had games that were really fun and the graphics were ideal. But the directions were not very clear and the website was not in the best condition. The games were not good for me beacause they were too hard. The site also had games that you could only have a trial for and then you would have to buy it. Other than that it was a pretty good site and all around nice. this site gets *** stars out of five. E-ster(Eli)

I think both websites had okay graphics.I thought Brainormous was fun but I don't quite get what some of the games have to do with math.As for the other website, I had no idea how to play or work the games.The directions were also very unclear.In fact, one of the games didn't even have instructions.So I didn't really like eather of them. mink(Madalena)

The games were great. I think Brainormous was not clear to how you play the games,but it looked like good grafics. Math Numbers has great games,but it wasn't at my grade leval and didn't have great grafics.The games were fun.

Unknown said...

Brainormous has good graphix, but it only had 2 games. It didn't satisfy me. The other website was pretty fun, but it didn't have as good graphix as Brainormous. It wasn't a good grade level for me.

I think that Brainormous was okay, but Math for kids was great. They both had good graphics. The games on Math for kids are great but I think Brairormous's games were more age appropriate. So in my opinion Math for kids is better. Even if its at a low level.
