My Project

Building foundational math skills through games is an engaging way for young students to practice and master mathematical concepts. These games will help all students see the math and physically engage with the math. The math games will be used for whole group instruction, small group instruction, and during 1:1 learning.

I would love to have new high-interest math games for math centers for my first grade class.

The math games would allow me to observe students or pull small groups for more individualized math instruction while others are interacting in mathematical play with their classmates.

Finally, my students would be engaged in math games and practicing essential math skills while having fun.
