My Project

In this project there are several strategic games that come highly recommended by math educators. Our students love to learn through games and have shown great progress by doing so.

When students are excited to learn, they learn a great deal!

It is the excitement that encourages them to problem solve and strategize when they are playing.

My goal is to have a library of strategy games for our students to choose from so that they can build their problem solving skills. It is outstanding to see how excited they are when they are using games to learn!
