My Project
First graders love to play. Trying to get a group of high-spirited, play motivated students to sit at a desk and complete a worksheet is almost an impossible task. Translate that worksheet into a game and let them play with manipulatives and they have so much fun that they forget they're learning.
A couple years ago, my team decided to supplement our math program with more hands-on, game-like lessons and stations.
We now teach math in whole group/small group rotations. The lessons are introduced in whole group and then we spend time in differentiated small groups digging deeper. One of the other rotations is almost always a math game that reinforces what is being learned or reviews a topic that is important. The kids immediately responded to the change in the structure of the lesson and even asked "why don't we do math anymore?"
The joy the students get from learning through play is extremely motivating. Now that we've spent some time making games for the students to regularly use, it would be great to provide them with themed manipulatives and storage for the games that is easier for them to access.
