When students go to Math Arcade, they will see a board game board. They have to successfully complete each game before they can move their game piece to another spot on the game board. Each spot on the game board represents an appropriate age level game. Students can write down a special password to save and return to their saved game at another time. There are 25 games at each grade level to play.
