Educator Resources for Monster School Bus
How many ways are there to combine numbers to add up to 10? What about combining decimals to add up to 1? As the new monster bus driver, players plan routes to pick up as many monsters as they can in as few trips as possible. When they combine groups to create a full load, they earn potions and transform buildings into monstrous structures. Monster School Bus teaches ways of representing numbers; conveys relationships among numbers and number systems; helps players visualize numbers as sets and quantities; reinforces addition of integers and decimals; and builds new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.
