Lift the Ban on Coolmathgames.com in Bellevue School District


Lift the Ban on Coolmathgames.com in Bellevue School District
The Issue
I know I can speak for myself and many others when I say we want Coolmathgames back. As dedicated students who value both learning and play, we’re deeply disappointed that Coolmathgames.com has been blocked in our district. This site is more than just entertainment—it’s a resource that helps us engage with mathematical concepts in interactive and exciting ways.
Coolmathgames.com aligns with Common Core standards, offering a variety of educational games that make math approachable and fun. Research, including a 2018 study from the Johns Hopkins School of Education, has highlighted the positive impact of game-based learning on students' math achievement. Taking away this tool limits an innovative learning approach that many of us rely on.
While we understand the importance of maintaining a focused academic environment, Coolmathgames.com does not contain inappropriate content or distractions that undermine this goal. Instead, it serves as a valuable supplement to traditional math education—allowing us to visualize concepts, practice problem-solving, and engage in learning beyond the classroom.
We respectfully urge the Bellevue School District to reconsider this decision and lift the ban. Coolmathgames.com enhances our education while also providing a well-deserved, constructive break during school hours.
Please sign this petition to support the restoration of Coolmathgames.com in our district. Let's keep learning fun, accessible, and engaging for all students.
