My Project

I truly admire my high school students’ determination and creativity as they tackle increasingly complex math concepts. Their growing ability to think critically and solve problems inspires me every day. I love supporting their journey to become confident, independent learners who see math as both relevant and rewarding.

Classroom Math Games designed for high schoolers make learning math fun and engaging by blending challenge with play.

These games take the pressure off traditional study and invite students to explore concepts like algebra, geometry, and statistics in an interactive way. This approach keeps students motivated and helps them develop a deeper understanding through collaboration and hands-on practice.

By incorporating these games into lessons, students strengthen their skills in a dynamic environment where math feels less like a chore and more like an exciting challenge. This not only builds their competence but also their confidence, making math class a place where curiosity thrives and learning becomes an enjoyable adventure.

To bring these games to life effectively, having a reliable printer (the EcoTank ET) and colored papers is essential. Printing allows me to provide clear, organized materials for every student, while colored papers make the activities visually appealing and easier to follow. Adding bulletin borders enhances the classroom environment, creating an inviting and stimulating space that celebrates math learning. Additionally, using a wooden board game adds a tactile, hands-on element that encourages collaboration, making math feel even more like play.
