This is our sponsored review of CarQuiz, a math game for kids, where the player races around a track solving math equations. The game builds math skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division while promoting fun, thematic environments. As the player accumulates tokens, they earn awards and unlock more items.

This tool is awesome for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Just like with the actual Geoboards, students stretch bands around pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. However with the tech version, students can focus on the math concepts rather than getting frustrated with trying to manipulate the rubber bands.

Chronozoom is a timeline creation and sharing resource that is exquisitely suited for use in Big History classrooms, and also works well for teachers and students with some technical knowledge and willingness to build timelines. Alternatively, you can simply access timelines already populating the site. Just watch the introductory tour to completely “get” what Chronozoom is all about. The zoom­ability and scale of Big History’s timeline is simply breathtaking. UC Berkeley, Microsoft, and The University of Washington have done a real service for all history teachers and lifelong learners in general.
