My Project

My students have been working hard all year. It is been quite an adjustment getting used to being in school again after a year and a half off. During this time we have been exploring the content in many different ways. Students learn more when they engage with the material. Exposure, lessons and practice are only the first step in skill mastery. Students who interact with the material in a more meaningful way develop a deeper understanding of the material and processes. Having interactive games and activities for the students to interact with gives them more opportunities to authentically interact with the material. Having these math games which are multitiered will give my students to interact with the skills in a more meaningful way.
