CritterComputation is an interactive math puzzle designed to promote the development of number sense.
Children who have good understanding of number sense are able to understand numerical strategies and use them in conjunction with skills in different contexts.
These skills include:
- Flexibility
- Estimation
- Patterns and links
- Prediction
- Mental computation
- Determining the reasonableness of results
Critter Computation provides opportunities for students to make estimations prior to completing a calculation.It also allows for students to make mental computations without additional aids in a fun and interesting way.
