How ClassCake works
A ten-minute daily routine your class can run on the board. No logins, no prep, no worksheets.
1. Pick your grade once
Choose your class's grade on the home page. Every puzzle is built from that grade's standards and the grade before, so the words, numbers and facts are things your students have met or are learning now. The setting is saved in your browser, so the board remembers it tomorrow.
2. Bake today's cake together
Each school day has five puzzles, one for each layer of the cake:
| Layer | Game | What the class does |
|---|---|---|
| English | Ladder (K–3) / Roots (4–8) | Change one letter at a time to climb a word ladder, or build words from Greek and Latin parts. |
| Math | Target | Combine numbers with + − × ÷ to hit a target, then hunt for more ways. |
| Science | Trios | Sort nine science words into three groups of three and explain why. |
| Social Studies | Timeline | Put events, steps or inventions in order, then reveal the dates. |
| Logic | Code Path | Write a short program to steer a robot through a maze. |
Every puzzle is designed for the whole class: one screen, many voices. Tries are free, there are no timers, and nobody loses. Hints and “show me” buttons are there when the room gets stuck.
3. Watch the cake (and the streak) grow
Each solved puzzle bakes one layer of today's slice. Finish all five and the class keeps its streak alive. Streaks count the days in a row your class eats the cake. Weekends, snow days and field trips never break a streak: a day you don't play is simply skipped. Sprinkles (one to three per puzzle) reward clean solving, but every solved layer counts. On top sits the Cherry, a bonus creative puzzle that is never required.
The week has a rhythm
Monday and Tuesday puzzles are the gentlest, Wednesday and Thursday step up, and Friday is the challenge day. On weekends the site shows Friday's cake. There is one cake a day for everyone, teachers included: no peeking ahead and no going back.
Tips for the board
- Press F11 (or use your browser's full-screen button) so the puzzle fills the board.
- Use the browser zoom (Ctrl +) if the back row needs bigger tiles.
- Pass the “clicker” around: let a different student tap the board for each layer.
- Ask “how do you know?” before you check. The explanation is the learning.
