Thank you for your support to help our students learn in a fun and interactive way. \r\n\r\nOur students LOVE how GimKit takes learning to a fun and competitive level. Every chance we get our students ask \"Can we play GimKit?\" \r\n\r\nGimKit has really helped students build their math fact fluency. Students work really hard to learn their basic facts so they are quick to answer the questions and maintain a great steak of answering questions correctly. \r\n\r\nThis teacher LOVES GimKit because it rewards students on questions correct rather than questions answered. So a student can work at their own pace and do well while some programs require most answered or quickest answer.
