NLVM Attribute Trains

This NLVM game is found under Grade 6-8 Geometry. I had some initial difficulty with this game, but then started to have some fun after playing it a few times. The game allows the user to recognize patterns in either shapes, colors, or numbers within a particular shape. It is mentally challenging the first few times, and I liked it in the sense that it allows users/students to not only pay attention to sides in a geometric figure (triangle, square or pentagon) but also forces the student to recognize a pattern that develops. The game allows users to select a shape and place it in the next open space. If the selected shape does not follow the pattern, it is simply placed back and the user selects another shape to try and fit the pattern.
