Bloxorz is a challenging, problemsolving, thinking and
strategic maths game. There is an online version that requires the plug in flash,
to run the game. However the school has downloaded Bloxorz and the
technicians will have install and loaded as a short cut for you.
Bloxorz is basically a game where you maneuver a block over
a hole so that it drops away. You have the option to roll the block or move it end
for end towards the hole and position it so that the next move will drop it through
the hole. Sounds easy, but reality of this game is that it requires considerable thinking, problem
solving and strategic moving of the block, especially as you advance though the
levels.As you advance not only is the game increasing in difficulty, extra attributes are added to increase the complexity such as bridges and platforms. Play it to see! Levels range from 1 - 9 and really is suitable for older children of those that are capable of mathematical challenges.
The opening screen has a slide show which tells you how to play.
The students have shown me there are online cheat sheets which itemise the maneuvers.
