Edubuntu is the educational flavour of Ubuntu and it is simply too good as a teaching aid to teach children. Kavya has an upcoming maths assessment and as a part of that she is expected to know tables of 2, 5 and 10 randomly. Came across this wonderful option, Tux Math in Edubuntu in which you can select the tables and randomly questions will fall like the space missiles or whatever. You punch in the correct answer and hit enter and it goes and destroys the falling missile. The level keeps going up and it is fun to play. Kavya could complete the task and at the end was so excited by "Congratulations. You Win". Then I would ask her "You want to play again?" Obviously the answer was a Yes and so changed the number and got her to solve the tables. All in all it was a game she was playing while she was studying..... Another reason for cheering Ubuntu and Edubuntu.

Dude "Learning by Doing" and "Constructionism" are very much in favor these days.. I learnt about them at GeorgiaTech.
Keep this up .. and there will be many such good games for her in EduBuntu. Make the best of them.
