Help me give my students an interactive learning experience. This will allow games to be better utilized in my classroom.

My students attend a Title I school, which means they are below the socioeconomic level of other schools in the district. This means they probably have not been exposed to a rich educational experience outside of school. My students' reading levels are typically one to two grades behind peers at other schools. Students have below grade math skills due to weak foundations in computation that are causing problems with their problem solving abilities. Students excel in the arts and athletics but struggle academically.
My goals are to encourage students in all of their talents and abilities, to encourage students to uplift each other in their academic pursuits, to teach them and raise awareness to making them feel a part of the group and not on the outside of it.
Students will have access to math centers to make the learning more relevant to them. Students will have games that target skills that they need more practice and instruction to master. The Apple TV will allow me to work with groups and still help the class as needed while working with a small group. Students seem to want to do more and work harder when it seems as if they are playing a game but these games help them improve their skills so the games are a win win for math instruction.
