New US Map Practice Games on ExamGiant

 

I just created a new video showing the new US map practice games on ExamGiant.

These games help students learn US states in an interactive way. Instead of only memorizing a list, students work directly with the shapes and names of the states. That makes the learning more visual, more active, and often more memorable.

There are currently three map-based US state games:

  • A mode where students see a picture of a US state and choose the correct name
  • A mode where students see the name of a US state and choose the correct state on the map
  • A flexible mode where students can choose whichever direction they want

I think this is important because students should know the states, not just as words on a page, but as places on a map. That kind of geographic knowledge can help with school, travel, history, government, and general understanding of the country.

In my video, I show how these games work and how students can practice identifying states in different ways.


One thing I like about these games is that they allow students to build familiarity from more than one angle. Some students learn better when they recognize a shape first. Others do better when they start with the name. Giving both options can make the practice more useful and more accessible.

As ExamGiant continues to grow, I want to keep building practice tools that are educational, practical, and engaging. These map games are a great step in that direction, and I think they can be very helpful for students who need stronger geography skills.

More ExamGiant videos and more learning games are on the way.

Why Memory Matters: ExamGiant’s Musical Circles Memory Game

Image
  I just created a new video showing one of the games I personally think is the most important on ExamGiant: the Musical Circles Memory Game. Right now, students can practice in two active modes: Sights and Sounds Sight Only I think memory is one of the most important foundations for learning. When students remember more of what the teacher says, more of what they read, and more of what they practice, school becomes easier. Homework can feel less overwhelming, class can make more sense, and students can build confidence faster. This is not just my opinion. Research has shown that memory is closely connected to school performance. One study published in  Learning and Individual Differences  reported that “working memory predicted math and reading performance on all tasks.” Source:  PMC article  and  PubMed record . That does not mean memory is the only thing that matters, but it does mean memory is a very important part of learning well. In this game, studen...

New Civics and Government Games on ExamGiant

Image
  I just created a new video showing the current civics and government games on ExamGiant. Right now, this part of ExamGiant includes two game types: Civics and Government Number - President Name The Civics and Government game also includes three difficulty levels: Citizen Representative President! I like this because it gives students different ways to grow in their knowledge. A student can start at a simpler level and then work up to more advanced questions over time. That makes the game useful for practice, review, and building confidence. Civics and government are important because students should understand how their country works. Learning about the Constitution, amendments, rights, government structure, and other civics topics can help students become more informed, more thoughtful, and better prepared for adult life. The presidential game adds another useful skill. Students can practice matching the number of a president with the correct name. That is a fun and direct way t...
