My Project

We can all agree that school is for learning, but why not make learning fun? My project is full of different activities to make math more enjoyable for my small groups. There are card games, whodunnit mysteries, dominoes, and more that cover concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percentages.

These math games will allow my students to practice math concepts in fun and different ways.

I believe these activities will keep my students engaged and increase participation. My goal is to use these games to make my students excited to learn every day for many years to come.
