Peg’s “Totally Rockin’ Adventures” brings together the collection's many elements into simple, game-like pathways that reinforce interrelated stories and math content. The interface is designed with little kids in mind, allowing them to move from video, to game, to video, to activity, and collect rocks along the way!
Learning Goals
Count and measure, and look for patterns and 3-D shapes in a series of adventures on a farm, in space, on Pirate Island, and back in time.
Description
"The chickens are headed to the Purple Planet...but wait, now everyone on the farm wants a ride into space! And you’re going to build the space ships that get them there. First, pick your ship-shape! Peg shows you what they need: “We need a spaceship that’s big enough for 3 chickens AND Pig!” You’ll use your powers (of geometry and 3-D shape selection) to pick a space ship-shape that will fit those passengers."
Learning Goals
Use 3-D shapes to build a spaceship that is just the right size and shape for its passengers.
