Represent visual models of exponential change with integer exponents. - Interpret exponential functions as visual growth patterns (positive integers) or shrinking patterns (negative integers). - Levels begin with positive exponential growth and progress to seeing negative integers as an inverse function.  - [Level 1](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level01) - [Level 2](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level02) - [Level 3](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level03) - [Level 4](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level04) - [Level 5](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level05) - [Level 6](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/CubeExponent/CubeExponent_Level06) ## Linear Balloons Graphs   Change slope and y-intercept values to pop balloons plotted in a straight line. - Manipulate the y-intercept values that form a line going through balloons plotted on a graph. - Change the y-intercept and slope on a graph and see how the values change in a linear equation in slope-intercept form. - Levels begin with visually manipulating the y-intercept so the given line will pop balloons and progress to comparing changes in the graph to changes in the corresponding equation. - [Level 1](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/LinearBalloons_Level01) - [Level 2](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/LinearBalloons_Level02) - [Level 3](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/LinearBalloons_Level03) - [Level 4](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/LinearBalloons_Level04) ## Linear Balloons Tables Fill in table values and plot points using a linear equation. - Solve linear equations using a table in slope-intercept form.   - Represent linear equations using tables and graphs. - Levels begin by finding the y-value on a table, then progress to plotting points using linear equations and y-values. - [Level 1](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/ParabolaBalloons_Level01) - [Level 2](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/ParabolaBalloons_Level02) - [Level 3](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/ParabolaBalloons/ParabolaBalloons_Level03) -

Interpret a line's slope and y-intercept and represent them in a linear equation in slope-intercept form. - Use changes in x and y-values to identify the slope of a line and the y-intercept of a line as the point where x=0. - Levels start with slopes = 1 and y-intercepts at the origin and progress to more challenging slopes and y-intercepts. - [Level 1](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/GraphSweep/GraphSweep_Level01) - [Level 2](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/GraphSweep/GraphSweep_Level02) ## Solve Linear Equations Solve visual equations of the form px = r, where p and x are positive rational numbers (of the form a/b). - Visual puzzles pose two-step problems that have students work backwards from a given total number of blocks needed and select the starting quantity of blocks. - Use the visual model to reason about linear relationships px = r where p and x are rational numbers. - Levels start by posing problems with whole number coefficients, then progress to using rational number coefficients. - [Level 1](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/FracWall/FracWall_Level01) - [Level 2](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/FracWall/FracWall_Level02) - [Level 3](https://play.stmath.com/demo.html#/play/FracWall/FracWall_Level03) ## Count Objects to 10 Count and match sets of up to 10 objects. - Develop counting strategies such as 1:1 correspondence and cardinality. - Levels begin by just clicking on given objects, then progress to selecting equivalent number of squares in the ground. - As the levels transition, students internalize strategies and connect numerals to the counting sequence. - [Level 1](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=8SoD8f78L) - [Level 2](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=PzhfWOM16M) - [Level 3](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=Q6WQAq78Ri) - [Level 4](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=SDXSQMLCWE) - [Level 5](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=YFixoFKtPf) ## Push Box Addition Develop addition concepts by finding the total number of blocks. - Add blocks at the start (left side) to the blocks in the middle by selecting the total number of blocks at the end (right side). - Develop and apply strategies for solving visual addition problems. - Levels start with sums ≤ 5 by adding up to 2 more blocks and transition to sums up to 10. - [Level 1](https://stmath.com/play/games?l=QtQWglhLUE) -
