Zoombinis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zoombinis<\/strong>, an award-winning game, engages players in guiding little blue Zoombinis on a \u201cfun but perilous\u201d journey featuring 12 logic puzzles, each with 4 levels of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing Zoombinis<\/strong> brings mathematic content alive. Players grapple with sets and logical relationships; dimensions, graphing, and mappings; and a mixture of sorting, comparing, algebra, and algorithms. Zoombinis is shown to build Computational Thinking (CT)<\/a> practices\u2014problem decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design\u2014as well as organizing data, systematic testing, reasoning based on evidence, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is designed for play in both schools and homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
