My Project

As my students brain are developing I am finding that they are missing those amazing opportunity of interacting with one another that builds their logical and strategic thinking.

Board games such as Blokus and Rubik's Race will give my students a chance to increase their logical thinking skills in a fun way.

As a Geometry teacher it can be a struggle to teach students how to think strategically if they don't have the opportunity to do so. Our students are consumed with technology and social media and need a space that will free them from the negative effects of overuse.
