My Project

My First Graders Will Love the Excitement of Learning Math and Reading Through Games! My Students Will Investigate and Search for a Better Understanding of Their World Around Them.

My Students will Learn By Asking and Answering Questions through Strategic Games!

They will Observe, Classify, Describe, and Analyze Data in a Logical Manner, Using Both Inductive and Deductive Methods. The Reading and Math Games will Make a Difference in their Mastery of Their Skills!! These Games will Involve My Students Using Strategic Thinking By Exploring Multiple Possibilities and Variables that Continually Change, Much Like Life!

This Project will Directly Impact My Students By Giving Them Enriching Experiences In Active Problem Solving, While Taking Risk. My Students will Learn Through Repeated Use of Both Deductive and Inductive Reasoning , Along With Nonlinear and Intuitive Thinking. These Mathematic Games Will Seriously Challenge My Students to Think Strategically and Resolve Problems That Are Continually Undergoing Change.
