Help me give my students math games to help them learn math skills and social skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barnard's classroom raised $412

My Project

Students like to learn while playing games and that is why I would like to add them to my classroom.

Math games are a great way to build students' skills in various areas while having fun.

Students are more engaged when they are playing games. They can also learn from other classmates while playing.

Playing games with classmates not only helps students learn but it also builds their social skills. Learning to play games with other classmates builds many life skills. They learn how to have conversations with each other and build upon their vocabulary.

The games will be used in various ways: to enhance lessons, to give students enrichment or extra practice.
