Their mission as specified on their website:

To build a resource that can be used by teachers and adults for enhancing and motivating young children, from the age of 2 years, to:

1. Build their first technology skillset, by finding and using appropriate content on the Internet, in the form of games, stories and songs, within a safe and engaging environment.

2. To enhance the learning of English, as a first or second language, with a huge range of motivational games and tools. The content will be appropriate for young to older learners.

3. To offer academic educational researchers a tool that can measure and correlate data on children’s use of content on the site, according to their research criteria. The project will incorporate a mechanism whereby the research can be followed-up offline.

“Helping families enjoy mathematics outside school through a series of fun and engaging, high-quality challenges” These are some clever real-world math activities for middle schoolers. While its not a typical site for Mr. B’s list, its good– and I think it is a good resources for middle school teachers. I could see a simple “johnny go to the board and pick an activity for tomorrow…” way to use in class. Cool!
