Non-augmented reality Maths games

Below I have listed a number of non-augmented reality games to help children at primary school learn maths. I feel that the looking at the way the children learn maths nowadays will be extremely useful and will help me build upon what the schools tell me. Whilst I wait for replies from the schools I want to keep focused on the project and also come up with a few ideas for the game. The games have come from various websites, but I feel the best standard of games came from the CoolMath website which had games which were visually very interesting but also built up the children's maths knowledge gradually. The worst from the big websites I found was suprisingly the BBC, the games were very poorly made and were based very much on eduction, this is fine but it means that kids will not engage with the games, I feel this is important as it means they might want to play them in their free time.


Mathonaire
This game is a parody of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' I feel this works well for people of my age but don't know if kids would be as receptive to the game as it is doubtful they watch the program. I will try find out if this is true when I get a response from one of the schools.



Castle Defence
This game works in the same way as the popular Tower Defence games, I feel this would definitely work with kids as long as they enjoy these sorts of games as it is very similar but with an educational twist.


MouseTrap
Mousetrap is a maths-logic game similar to the popular game Chat Noir but with a level system. The game works well but doesn't really teach much maths in my opinion, although it does improve logic.



BBC Maths Games
These series of games are very poor in my opinion, using basic flash in most, although they are very educational. I think these will be useful for ideas on content but not design



SpaceRacer
Space Racer is somewhat similar to the game Asteroids, the user must avoid asteroids by answering maths questions, this game is really interesting in my opinion as it has a score based system meaning friends can compete against one and other.
