Descartes' Cove

Marooned on a desert island once inhabited by Rene Descartes, students discover his notebook and gear and begin their journey through the island's tunnels, volcanoes, abandoned mines, and sunken ship.  At each step, they solve increasingly difficult puzzles and math challenges that follow NCTM standards. As they master each math concept, they prepare to tackle the final quest to build a means to escape from the island.
