TutPup – Online Maths and Spelling Games

Posted by Brian on January 11, 2010 under games based learning | 4 Comments to Read

I just stumbled upon www.tutpup.com.  It looks like a great, competition and rewards based resource for maths and spelling.  Really suited to the primary school.  Tutpup is affiliated to the adopt-a-monster social networking  come edugaming site MoshiMonsters.

With TutPup, teachers can join for free and set up a class code.  Pupils can then be given that class code and use it to join.  Pupils do not sign in with their names, they choose an animal, colour and number and that becomes their TutPup ID.  For example, I am RedOwl11434.  Below is a creenshot of the my home page.

When a pupil joins a class you create, you can watch their progress as they compete in competition with other pupils from all over the world in Maths, Algebra, Times Tables and Spelling games.  Pupils graduate from each level by correctly answering 10 questions in 3 different games.  Pupils can try their best to get onto the Wall of Fame, win awards for winning game and keep a record of their wins.

The screenshot above shows me playing against someone from the USA in a Maths Mix game.

I would love to hear from anyone who is using this resource just now, or if anyone intends to use it with their classes.
