Every class that has had the opportunity to play this game truly loves it. They can&#8217;t wait for the following week to once again play the game and show how much they have grown.&#8221; -Evanyl Burgos-Halm, Teacher<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;A reason why I liked your game is that you get to play against other people. It is fun like that instead of someone getting a card and reading the problem and we have to answer. I like the way you made it. It&#8217;s more fun like that.&#8221; &#8211; Juan, 4th Grader<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I liked the game because I got to learn my multiplication facts. I also liked the game because you get to go against other people and you can see how fast you are in multiplication and how smart you are.&#8221; &#8211; Alejandro, 4th Grader<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;The game adapts well to various math proficiency levels! We had students in grades 3 through 5 playing the game. We were able to have groups of students who were not at the same level of proficiency play together and it did not effect the game play.&#8221; &#8211; Catherine Bogdanski, Community Learning Center Site Coordinator<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Learn More About Math Game 2&#215;3<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Campaign<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/app.fundanidea.com\/en\/projects\/2595-Math-Game-2x3--Addition---Make-Math-Fun\"><u>https:\/\/app.fundanidea.com\/en\/projects\/2595-Math-Game-2&#215;3&#8211;Addition&#8212;Make-Math-Fun<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Website<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mathgame2x3.com\/\"><u>http:\/\/www.mathgame2x3.com<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MathGame2x3\"><u>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MathGame2x3<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video in English<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ubOqkvY_8Rw\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\"><u>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ubOqkvY_8Rw<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video in Spanish<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=45ByRn4-hzA\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-1\"><u>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=45ByRn4-hzA<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; With Math Game 2&#215;3 children find learning math can be fun!!!
