What’s It Like? Lumio – math games for the Common Core classroom is a collection of math games geared toward kids in kindergarten through third grade. Kids can learn about a range of math topics including geometry, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, place value, and fractions. Most games follow distinct learning pathways with levels that increase in difficulty as kids play. Hints are available, and kids get constructive feedback for incorrect answers. In the teacher dashboard, users can create kid and adult profiles, and any game progress made by a user (like levels completed and rewards earned) is automatically saved. A Teacher’s Guide provides objectives and standards alignments for each game.
