Co-designed by a veteran K-12 math supervisor and a former console game designer, AWEsum Plus is a pedagogically sound technique for moving the human brain from concrete to abstract representations of numbers &#8211; the foundation cognitive principle for success in K-12 mathematics. In simpler terms, the types of thinking required in this game have been shown to mathematically attune students of all ages &#8211; and even adults!<br \/>\nThe object of the game is to guide and place a pair of falling number cubes onto other cubes below so that the single digits assigned to each cube, when added together, equal the game&#8217;s predetermined &#8220;AWEsum&#8221;.<br \/>\nCorrectly paired cubes result in their disappearance, preventing the &#8220;cube wall&#8221; from reaching the top of the board and ending the game. Receive scoring bonuses by power-dropping cubes, matching cube colors, or making multiple AWEsum pairs at once.<br \/>\nThe AWEsum changes periodically throughout the game &#8211; keeping you on your mathematical toes! Game speed progressively increases and &#8220;special&#8221; cubes with powerful cube-bursting features are introduced as periodic rewards to players who demonstrate proficiency.<br \/>\nAWEsum Plus is extremely configurable, allowing the parent, teacher, or child to restrict the randomly appearing AWEsums and game speed to a certain range or single value, modify the appearance of Swap spheres and Special cubes, eliminate periodic piece drop to remove time constraints, etc. A Skills Assessment screen summarizes the user&#8217;s strengths &#038; weaknesses. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Amazon Appstore for Android \u2013 Free Amazon app of the day<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/mobile-apps\/b\/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&#038;node=2350149011\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/mobile-apps\/b\/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&#038;node=2350149011<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AOMBI00?ie=UTF8&#038;ref=mas_faad\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AOMBI00?ie=UTF8&#038;ref=mas_faad<\/a>            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By popular demand from teachers and parents, NOMAD, the creators of the award-winning casual game &#8220;AWEsum!&#8221;, now proudly present AWEsum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3446],"tags":[6,9,3222,1510,211,29,178],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6608"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6611,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6608\/revisions\/6611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
