BuzzMath.com 1.20 is SmartBoard Ready (sweet!), with better Portfolios and Class Reports

We updated BuzzMath.com to version 1.20, Tue, Feb 9, 2010.

What’s New

  • Wow! SMART has approved BuzzMath as a SMART Board READY title. The combination of these two products can be very entertaining and can help to focus the attention of kids in any classroom.

  • The Individual Student’s Reports now track the progress students make inside each document. You can see how hard your students have worked on a document in order to collect a full star (achieve a score of 100%)!
