I started
Coolmath-Games.com in
2000 because the games on Coolmath.com had gotten so popular that
they needed their own site. It also made things a lot easier
to manage for both me and for our classroom teachers.
Since then,
Coolmath-Games.com has grown to be the most popular educational website
in the United States (and, not to be left out, Coolmath.com is the
second most popular.) (Stats can be verified at Quantcast.com
- Spring 2011.) In May (2011), our
Cool Math Games were played by
almost 21 million users!
A question that I sometimes get from
grown-ups is, "Hey, I don't see numbers in some of these games.
Are they really math?" Well, first of all, we've added more
than math onto the site. Coolmath-Games.com now has
Reading
and Spelling games,
Geography
games and
Science
games - woo hoo! We also
have some cool jigsaw puzzles and mazes. But, I know what they
are asking about - our cool "thinking" games like
B-Cubed,
Snorzees
and
Rotate and Roll. At first glance, these might not seem
like "educational" games... But, just try to play them.
I dare you! They'll seem simple at first... But, then,
something happens... You have to plan ahead. You have to
figured things out. You have to strategize. You have to
use logic. You have to use your brain! And THAT is what
math is really all about.
Besides, the games are FUN and way COOL.
Kids of all ages will, then, associate "Math" with "fun" and "cool"
and then? There aren't as many complaints about doing that
math homework. How do I know this? I get LOTS of
"thank-you" emails from happier parents and teachers... and
kids too. It's all pretty cool.
