Yesterday we had a visit from Shannon Sullivan as our guest teacher for Technology class. So what she made us do was go on to wiki and look at the Sandy River Middle School wiki and look at their team pages. My team looked at the Frosted Loops page and took notes about their game. Their game was kind of like Pacman only with questions about fractions, it was called Fracman. The way to win was by getting points by controling Fracman to eat all of the "Fracdots" and avoid being eaten by the "Fracghosts". So the team is teaching kids about fractions and they're making it because elementary kids usually have trouble with fractions. This is how the game works. For each level they ask you a question about fractions and there's some fractions around the stage and you have to go through the right answer to pass on to the next stage. If you go through the wrong answer you will be removed temporarily from the stage and they will ask you three questions and you must get them right to get back in. After we studied their game we made a presentation about our notes.
