This ensures students understand the expectations and can use the game independently and productively.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"318\" data-end=\"549\">It\u2019s also a great way to mix students in new ways. Games give children the opportunity to work with classmates they might not typically partner with due to differing skill levels \u2014 and that collaboration can be incredibly powerful.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"795\">I often introduce games at the end of a unit as a meaningful way to review key concepts. They also work beautifully for spiraling instruction, allowing us to revisit and strengthen skills from previous units in an engaging, low-pressure format.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">2. \u00a0As intervention lessons<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Using games as true &#8220;learning activities&#8221; in intervention groups is one of my favorite things to do. \u00a0For one thing, students who need remediation and intervention probably didn&#8217;t learn the concept during the initial lesson&#8211;so reteaching in the same way makes no sense. \u00a0Using a &#8220;game&#8221; format where I can play with the group, coach, instruct, and have fun is a perfect way to provide good, targeted instruction and really see what students can and can&#8217;t do&#8211;in a fun and engaging way.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">3. \u00a0As small group skill practice<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Similarly, if students don&#8217;t really need reteaching but might need additional practice, having small groups who need work on specific skills or strategies play relevant games (&#8216;learning activities&#8221;) to reinforce the skills is a great way to keep them focused and on task. \u00a0Similarly, when students play games, they are working cooperatively, using math talk, all while practicing necessary math skills.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">4. \u00a0As replacement homework<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<p data-start=\"200\" data-end=\"372\">One thing that has become painfully clear to me over the years is this: students who struggle in math often struggle even more with math homework \u2014 and for several reasons.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"755\">First, the work is often simply too difficult. Even when homework is intended to be \u201creview\u201d (and I tend to give very little homework, usually review-based \u2014 but that\u2019s a conversation for another post!), it may not actually be appropriate for every learner. If a student is performing several grade levels below expectation, even review work can feel overwhelming and inaccessible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"994\">And perhaps most importantly \u2014 we don\u2019t want students practicing math incorrectly. Practice only helps when it reinforces accurate thinking. Otherwise, we\u2019re unintentionally strengthening misconceptions instead of building understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Similarly, many students who struggle don&#8217;t have the support at home to help&#8230;either because the family doesn&#8217;t have the skill set to assist (math has changed quite a bit since people our age went to school!) or any number of other reasons. \u00a0Certainly motivation is a problem as well&#8230;and the last thing we want is our frustrated students to get MORE frustrated.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">What&#8217;s an easy solution? \u00a0Send math games home! \u00a0What a perfect way to build relationships with home, provide that fluency practice that is needed, and actually get students feeling good about doing homework! \u00a0Check out below for some ideas about how to organize this so you don&#8217;t lose track of your games.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">5. \u00a0As fluency work<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Finally, some skills just need constant reinforcement to build fluency and automaticity. \u00a0We want our students to know their math facts and other critical math skills instantly&#8211;like &#8220;sight words&#8221; in reading. \u00a0Once we have taught students strategies, they need lots of reinforcement to build those connections in the brain so they cement the knowledge. \u00a0Working on games is an engaging and meaningful way for students to build that fluency.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Organizing math games is key&#8211;don&#8217;t waste time looking for materials!<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">So&#8230;I needed to get a handle on the dozens and dozens of games in my collection.
