My Project

Help me turn my students into mathematicians through engaging games and resources!

The use of games in mathematics education increases motivation and interest, making it easier for students to understand concepts and personalize their learning pace.

Students can learn to solve problems together, think strategically, and plan their next move. Playing learning games can also provide a structure for problem-solving, allowing children to make their own decisions and try out different strategies. Games can help children understand numbers, shapes, measurements, and basic math operations. Games can also help children build confidence as problem solvers.

These games and resources not only make learning mathematics fun but also help students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through your support, we will turn my students into mathematicians!
