Fun Towers is a pre-existing game that can be found online in several version (http://www.funnytowers.com/ is one example) that has been ported to the XO, written in Squeak. Our team is modifying this purely numerical/card based game into one that can be used as a teaching tool as part of the 4th grade math project. Several proposed domains include:

Our team is modifying this purely numerical/card based game into one that can be used as a teaching tool as part of the 4th grade math project. Several proposed domains include:
*Identifying X-sided shapes
*Round whole numbers through 100,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000.
*Carry out simple unit conversions within a system of measurement, e.g., hours to minutes, cents to dollars, yards to feet or inches, etc.
Our initial goals in modifying the pre-existing game remain relatively simple and achievable, and our goal is to produce verifiable results that can be used to point to the very preliminary success of the math4 program, while more in-depth projects are still in development.
