Game On: Empowering Students with Trivia Buzzers and Exciting Rewards

Help me give my students buzzers for trivia style games, and some rewards to encourage competition and have fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Padela's classroom raised $466

My Project

I am excited to share with you an opportunity to enhance the learning experiences of my students through engaging, hands-on, and project-based learning activities. Our classroom is an energetic and curious space, where students thrive when learning is interactive, experiential, and connected to real-world applications.

To further this vision, I am requesting a set of buzzers for a trivia-style game and reward materials to promote active participation, critical thinking, and motivation.

In our math classroom, learning is not just about memorizing formulas or solving equations—it's about experiencing math in dynamic and engaging ways. The buzzers will be used for interactive trivia games where students will compete in answering math-related questions to reinforce their math knowledge while developing important skills such as critical thinking, quick decision-making, and teamwork.

With your support, this project will provide my students with the materials they need to engage with math in a hands-on, interactive way. The trivia buzzers and reward system will turn math learning into a fun and competitive experience. I am excited for the positive impact this will have on my students’ mathematical understanding and their love for learning. In addition to the buzzers and rewards, I am also requesting a work turn-in station. This simple yet essential tool will allow students to submit their assignments in an organized and efficient way.

Thank you for considering this project. Your support will help me create a classroom where math is exciting, engaging, and full of opportunities for growth and achievement.
