My Project

My students live in a rural area and attend a Title 1 school. Suddenly there is a surge in exploring the realms of chess by my middle school students. Chess can stimulate and challenge my students minds. It is fun to play and students have the opportunities to meet other students and make life long friends.

My students were noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they were given notice that a chess club is being formed.

Chess can assist my students in developing their analytical skills. When you're playing a game of chess, you get to use your brain and your memory. Counting and memorizing numbers is a lot easier when you're involved in a game. Students love the game. They are working hard at learning how to count and how to compare numbers. It's a fun way to learn math skills and develop reasoning skills.
