Games can be engaging and motivating, while simultaneously providing opportunities for students to deepen the connection between literacy and mathematics. In particular, games are a great way to embed student choice, which results in increasing their ability to focus and concentrate. 

We will discuss the math and literacy components within the game, as well as:

  • what to look for
  • what to listen for
  • questions to ask students
  • ideas for differentiation
  • error handling

Leave this session with ready-made ideas to take back to your in-person classroom or use as online learning resources. Come and join us in our playful, yet intentional time, as we highlight the symbiotic relationship between literacy and mathematics in the K-6 grades.
