Assessor's comments

This website offers an opportunity to get under the skin of many “real life” type puzzles which children normally find quite boring. Here, they are colourful, fun and most importantly, purposeful. When puzzles are solved, children are rewarded with “money” that can be spent on upgrades for their on-screen character. An entertaining way of linking maths and ICT, complete with suggestions for class based activities and resources that build skills needed to get the most out of the website.
