Succeed in Math

Do you want to do better in math? Check out this link for some suggestions that will help you.

Web Games

Follow these links to some online math games that will amuse you and your friends.
Tower of Hanoi
In this puzzle, a (variable) number of rings are placed in a “tower”, largest to smallest. The object is to move the rings, one at a time, onto two additional towers, until all of the rings are on the last tower.
( http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex12/towerhanoi.htm )
Math Hangman
Guess the letters in the words or phrases selected by the computer before you run out of moves. This game will stretch your knowledge and your vocabulary.
( http://www.mathsisfun.com/games/hangman-game-with-math-words.html )
Sprouts
This is a game for two players. Take turns drawing curves between any two dots. The player who draws the last possible curve wins. The curves must not intersect, and no more than three curves may come from any dot.
( http://www.math.utah.edu/~alfeld/Sprouts/ )
Daleks
This keyboard-controlled game is based on the television series Dr. Who. The goal is to help Dr. Who escape the Daleks (evil robots). To win, you will need your knowledge of two-dimensional geometry, logical thinking, and planning skills.
( http://www.koobifora.com/daleks/ )
Set Game
This card game may seem simple at first, but it will surprise you. The cards have four attributes: colour, shape, number, and shading. To score, you must find three cards that are either all alike or all different within each of the four categories. Mentally juggling all four categories is more challenging than it sounds!
( http://2n1.org/applets/set/ )
Awari
Awari is an ancient game that was played using stones and holes in the ground. The object is to capture the greatest number of stones.
( http://www.copleys.com/awari.htm )
3-D Noughts and Crosses
A three-dimensional version of the popular game tic-tac-toe. The game has four layers, each with a 4-by-4 grid. Use this game to improve your ability to think in three dimensions.
( http://web.ukonline.co.uk/arthur.vause/ThreeDoxo.html )
The Factor Game
How well do you know the factors of numbers from 1 to 100? Take turns (with another player or with the computer) identifying the factors of a number chosen by your opponent. The game ends when there are no more numbers and factors to select. The winner is the player with the greatest sum. Play a few times to develop a strategy!
( http://illuminations.nctm.org/tools/tool_detail.aspx?id=12 )
The Game of Life
The Game of Life uses biological growth patterns and mathematical patterning to simulate the growth or death of a culture. The object is to create a living system that is able to sustain itself.
( http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html )
Knot Funny
This game challenges you to unscramble 16 numbers in a 4-by-4 grid. The catch is that you cannot move individual squares; you have to work with a block of numbers at a time. Although it looks simple, unravelling the scramble will test your patterning skills.
( http://javaboutique.internet.com/KnotFunny/ )
Rubik??s Illusion
Your goal: get five of your pieces in a row on this 8-by-4 grid before the computer does. The catch: there is a mirror that doubles the number of squares and doubles each move. There are six levels of difficulty.
( http://www.dotsphinx.com/games/rubik/illusion/ )
Nim
This applet simulates the original Nim game. You and the computer take turns removing objects from the rows; whoever removes the last object wins. There are many versions of Nim available, so you can use your favourite search engine to find variations on this game.
( http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/nim.htm )
The Fruit Game
The Fruit Game is an interactive Nim-type game. The object is to beat the computer by removing the last piece of fruit from the table.
( http://www.2020tech.com/fruit/index.html )
Safebreaker
The object of this game is to break the five-digit code in the fewest number of trials. After each trial, the computer gives you feedback on which digits are not in the code; which digits are in the code but in the wrong place; and which digits you have identified correctly.
( http://www.pimpernel.com/safe/ )
Hex-7
Hex-7 is a strategy game that requires players to build a path across a playing surface made up of hexagons.
( http://www.mazeworks.com/hex7/index.htm )
Pentominoes
Pentominoes a set of shapes, each made up of five squares. The challenge is to completely tile a section of the plane. Pentominoes can be rotated or flipped before being placed.
( http://www.math.clemson.edu/~rsimms/java/pentominoes/ )
Rubik??s Cube
The applet allows you to manipulate a Rubik??s Cube in three dimensions. More challenging puzzles, such as a 5-by-5-by-5 cube are available.
( http://www.mud.ca/puzzler/JPuzzler/JPuzzler.html )
The Chaos Game
The Chaos Game makes use of the Sierpinski Triangle and fractals to present a challenging puzzle. There are four levels of difficulty provided.
( http://math.bu.edu/DYSYS/applets/chaos-game.html )
Resizing Jigsaw
The pieces in this jigsaw puzzle are not the correct size. Each piece must be scaled before it can be added to the puzzle. There is a time limit to determine the correct scale for each piece.
