DragNDrop Math allows students to complete any addition, multiplication, subtraction, or division problem just like they would with paper and a pencil. DragNDrop Math is perfect for students who have trouble keeping numbers organized in large problems, as my unique drag and drop system allows students to seamlessly drag numbers into place. Math problems can be customized to allow the user to choose the number of problems and number of digits in each number for each problem. Users can also choose to work on graph "paper", lined "paper" or blank space. Users can input their own problems. Of course, the program checks to see whether or not the answer is correct and allows students to go back and try incorrect problems again.

See how much money you can make in five minutes by using your equivalent fraction skills to fill your customer pizza orders. Be careful, though, your customers are a picky bunch and expect their toppings to be applied according to their odd fractional specifications. If you apply them incorrectly, expect to pay a stiff penalty.

Coast to Coast
Step 1.) Choose the number of players and the names of the players in the game. You can have up to four players.
Step 2.) Each player will start off in Maine with a question about Maine. If a player answers correctly, he or she will awarded a random number of points between 1-6. Each point represents a bordering state that player can travel to. Since the object of the game is to make it to Hawaii, try to make it as far west as possible. For example, if a player is on Maine and is awarded "2" points, he or she must first go to New Hampshire (1), and then has the choice to go to Vermont or Massachusetts - the states that border New Hampshire (2). If a player answers incorrectly, he or she may be swept back to Maine by a natural disaster, or, may lose a turn. The object of the game is to make it all the way to Hawaii. When you reach Hawaii, a special serenade awaits you. Beware however! The questions are hard and may require some internet research.
