Mathematics questions would be easy to generate a lot of as we have a lot of
versatility with them.  We also do not have to be limited to x+y=z.  we can
do things such as a+b+c=z or any combination of things to that nature.  What
we need to make sure of is that we are covering the students curriculum
adequately.  Sometimes repetition can be helpful in teaching them the
concepts.  On the other hand repetition just allows them to memorize the
question and answer and blow through it.  BF will more than likely take up a
goodly chunk of time just getting through 10 levels and I imagine these
students will have maybe 30 minutes to play, an hour tops.

If we want to see them finish a game we may want to cut down on the levels
as BF (and yes i realize we changed the name but its force of habit) has no
save progression abilities.  It may be a good idea to set up another time
with the class to have them test the game more thoroughly with longer
periods of time with the game or have other people we know play the game as
well.  This may be something we should talk to Christy about (the amount of
time they get with each game) and we can go from there.
