Going back thru some random pics saved on my computer, this epic Yahtzee matchup was captured via a screen shot on June 18th, 2018. Yahtzee online is lots of fun, but I can't really say that it provides as much math practice as the version that uses the dice and the paper scorecards. Still deciding if I should add the link to the online math resources on this website. For now, might as well make it easy to get to the game online! And, I'll add a few tags (something I am getting better at managing) so it is not too hard to find! UPDATE/EDIT (Oct. 9, 2019) What's your Yahtzee high score? I think I got mine at last-Monday years old. It was maybe not the best match of all, in terms of competitiveness (see above picture). I got 413 points. including 2 "YAHTZEE" and the elusive "Bonus" scores! It happened last week on the flight back from FL. For me, Yahtzee is a great way to pass the time when stuck o a plane or in the airport. I can play five or six times in a row before I get tired. What's your favorite online game you can play in 10 minutes or less? Actually, it would be interesting to time how long it takes to play a good Yahtzee game where you're really trying to win, right up until the end. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll comment :)
I used to always play Tetris while listening to rocking songs by the epic band Journey 'n' stuff like that. Tetris was my favorite Geometry Practice! If you want to get better at Tetris, you should start with "Only The Young" as good Journey background music. Click on the video image below and get started with some Free online Tetris! Now, since you might be getting better at Tetris, when "Only the Young" is done playing, pause your game, come back to this page, scroll down a bit, and click on the link to the mysterious, haunting video of the song "Send Me An Angel" (1983) by Real Life. I think it was before Tetris, but it has merit. Another good song for Tetris, once you realize you need to rethink your geometric arrangement decisions would be "Jump" (originally by Van Halen, but better done, in my opinion, by Powerman 5000). Go ahead and play that by following the third link. Finally -- at least for now -- some 4S friends from last year's (2016-2017) 3H gang (with special shout-out to Sarah H., Queen of the Copy Machine), really wanted to have some "Final Countdown" inspiration to go along with the Tetris higher levels. So, go ahead and pause that game again. Scroll down a little further, and click on the Vevo-hosted vid for Europe's most-loved song.
If you wanna see a movie montage from Vision Quest, this is awesome to watch. Or just listen over and over again while playing Tetris.
