PAR 55™ (Grades 2-3)
This game uses attribute logic blocks to develop students’ multiple classification skills, algebraic thinking, and logical and computational reasoning. The gameboard is comprised of connected pentagon bases upon which students place attribute blocks that are connected to other blocks. Whenever a “placed block” is connected to an occupied base, points are scored based on four attributes: shape, color, size, and thickness. The networking of gameboard bases, the potential for a “placed block” to be connected to multiple bases, and bump rules create a critical thinking game that challenges a broad grade and ability range.
