My Project

Our students love to play games. When you can combine learning with fun, you've got a winner.

Imagine being told it is time for math, and then bringing out a game!

All of these games work on math skills, strategy and social emotional. The game "24" challenges students to take the 4 numbers and combine them in a way to equal 24. Chinese checkers and Go Game work on strategy.

All of the games work on social emotional skills. Not many people enjoy losing a game. However, learning to lose with dignity is a skill that needs to be taught. As well as, winning with grace.

Grades 3-5
