Exploding Dots

14.1 The Official Scolab.com Suite

Our partner company Scolab has created some terrific web versions of Exploding Dots machines to play with. In fact, Scolab powered the entire online Exploding Dots experience!

HERE they have pulled out the multiple versions of the machine,  with increasing functionality, and you can just go straight in and play with whichever version you like.

Click here to go to the JUST PLAY island.

Below I’ve pulled out the same machines from each Island page. This way, you can still “just play,” but if you want to go back and review the text and videos you readily can. Click on each blue title to go to the machine described.
