My Project

Math can often be scary and challenging for students. In elementary school, it is important to foster a love of mathematics. Offering students fun ways to learn math concepts through the use of games is an essential way to keep students focused and engaged.

Math is all around us, part of our everyday lives!

By playing math games, students will learn important foundation skills such as addition, subtraction, place value, multiplication, money, and time just to name a few. I plan to use this various math games to build excitement about math and problem-solving. Using games has always been something that ignites a spark of excitement in students. Games take ordinary concepts and turn them into extraordinary fun.
