My Project

My goal for this project is to provide the students an opportunity to work with peers and strengthen their math skills. My students enjoy playing learning games and interacting with peers. Having taught for 22 years, I have learned students learn better when they are actively engaged in their learning. If they are engaged in learning activities centered around a specific skill, they learn more and enjoy it. They also learn from each other and strengthen their peer relationships in the processes. Having the opportunity to play math learning games on a daily basis with help with student achievement.
