Depending on what grade level you chose, it gives you different level math problems any where from simple addition to double digit multiplication or division. The games progresses as it goes on so it gives reason and motivation to keep playing. Each problem you solve either passes the basketball to someone, dribbles around an opponent or shoots the ball. Once you score a basket you win. It is also great because you have an actual character you are playing as and it increasingly gets harder.
FunBrain is also a great website because you can play a board game where on each move you must play an educational game. Sometimes it also throws in some non education games for variation. You must beat each game to continue on in the board game. This is a great way to get students involved using educational math games.
