WINNER - 2012 NATIONAL STEM VIDEO GAME CHALLENGE, HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATOR DIVISION Created by a high school math teacher with over 30 years of experience in the classroom. Develop your algebraic equation solving skills through playing a Bingo game. The goal is to transfer the player’s skill level to solving complex algebra equations mentally. This game will take you step by step through the process of learning how to solve the most basic equation up through multiple-step equations by way of 13 different levels and it will allow you to choose from a variety of Bingo games from straight-line Bingo through multiple patterns of Bingo all the way up to Black-out Bingo if you choose. The game will keep track of your time and points to be able to compete with others as well as yourself. With the new standards being taught in classrooms, the age and grade-level of students learning to solve equations continues to get younger and younger. Therefore, Alge-Bingo can be enjoyed by 1st and 2nd graders all the way up to college students to increase their skills and mental dexterity. It can also be used an Algebra tutorial for anyone preparing for a standardized test such as the S.A.T. or A.C.T. Alge-Bingo was created by a veteran public high school teacher who taught math and computer applications for over 30 years. It is an iOS app version of a game he played with his students for years with an overhead projector! Alge-Bingo won the 2012 National STEM Video Game Challenge in the Secondary Teacher Division sponsored by Sesame Street. It is being re-released in 2020 with updates for new screen sizes, more accurate and faster coding, along with new animations and sound effects. And for the first time, Alge-Bingo is FREE!
