BrainGenie is about helping your students meet your objectives. As an educator the tool and practice is free and you can create classes within BrainGenie. You can track the students you add to your lists and watch them achieve goals or see how long they were practicing on Thursday before the big test.

They have all math levels from Math 1-8, to algebra, all the way up to pre-calculus. You can set goals for your students to accomplish. Let's say locating points in the coordinate plane. When students are practicing, they can watch a video, and see results. They can also take the unit challenge and play multi-player games. Students can win badges and go for a top spot on the leaderboard.

It takes a minute or two for the games to load, but it is a great way to have one-on-one competition with someone else and as the teacher you get to track their achievements.
