The Class Placements Game
I’m (re)building a tool to help elementary schools place students into classes (original app still uses jQuery… porting to React). Placing students into classes is kind of like a puzzle where the first kids are easy, but when you get close to the end, you realize your earlier placements need to be moved around endlessly. That’s why I wrote an algorithm to help. Anyway, teachers tell me it’s kind of fun, so I made a game out of it! This game simplifies the process a lot in the name of getting something that’s solvable by hand and playable on a smartphone. Hope you enjoy.
The Class Placements Game launched on July 23, 2023 with 7 votes, #1,751 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

I made a web game that makes practicing basic arithmetic fun2024 · worchle.com · ▲161Hey, maker here. After launching a daily word search game, I randomly thought of this math game while driving. Finally got around to making it and I think it turned out pretty cool. It’s a math search game that’s meant to help you practice your quick addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills. I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds. (There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder) If you try it out, please let me know if you found it fun, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you…
- IMI'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool2025 · ▲260
Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli
I made an interactive math crossword puzzle with infinite levels2024 · scientific.place · ▲165Hey there! I'm the brains behind the math crossword game on my site.

I turned my kid's worksheet into a math game in 10 minutes with Claude2025 · mattsayar.com · ▲76I received a ticket from my product manager (my wife) to add a new feature for our largest customer (my kindergartner). The requirements doc included a worksheet from school that looked like this. I took that exact screenshot (blurriness, bad lighting, scribbles, and all) and…

Hey Hacker News, I’m excited to introduce ClassroomIO – a project that I’ve been working on for the past few months. It’s an educational platform that provides an in-browser code editor and execution environment. The idea is to make teaching programming easier by eliminating the technical barriers that educators and students often face. Feature highlights: * In-Browser coding: Write, run, and debug code directly in your browser. No more downloading software, configuring environments, and resolving compatibility issues. * Course management: Manage classes, assignments, and student…

You play as God manifested as a Professor. The goal of the game is to prevent your students from failing a free elective course. To achieve this, you must gain the trust of your students. Each student has their own personality and interests. Teaching them about their interests improves their relationship with you. This is a passion project I decided to pursue after becoming unemployed. It has been a fun project to chip away at over the past two months. The game is in beta, so I am eager to hear any feedback you all have. Join the Discord, and if possible, consider donate to my Ko-fi so I can…

I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
