Contig Online® Official Site

"Contig Online is an excellent game to help students improve their mental math skills. Students practice thinking quickly and accurately while computing large numbers. My students especially enjoy using effective strategies while playing. They think ahead about the consequences of a mark for themselves and their opponents. Contig Online features many options that allow for differentiation of each game. I have found those to be valuable in the classroom to help students of all abilities challenge themselves while playing."

"My students love the games! The two games Single Player Contig and Two Player Contig are easy to understand and very user friendly. The students get on a computer and play as many rounds as time allows. Many times they will huddle 4 people around one computer and play 2 people versus 2 people. By having to verify answers when challenged, students learn to communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers. Also when students were challenged, they found they had to enter numbers in the proper order, so it is good practice for writing number sentences."

"The Software CONTIG Online is a math program which I have found to be beneficial to all of my students. Students have the opportunity to practice mathematics using integers in a fun and challenging way. This practice helps them perform more computations and estimations mentally. I find that it gives students more confidence, which leads to a better self-concept. It also demonstrates that effort and practice pay off with success. This is a valuable life lesson to learn. Students playing Single Player Contig or Two Player Contig in my 7th and 8th grade classes use powers, roots, order operations as well as basic operations to mark a number. This is a game the whole family can enjoy."

"My students enjoy playing Two Player Contig while they get practice with necessary basic facts of math. They ask to play when we have time in class. As a teacher, I like the flexibility of the program from being able to select the difficulty, the playing board, and the time to just being able to exit if we need to do so. The Classroom Mode of the program allows me to teach the game to the whole class or just to play against the class for fun. Contig Online is a valuable practice tool in the intermediate and junior high/middle school classroom."
