My Project

As a teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how my students light up when they play math games. They’re always eager for more playtime, and I want to harness that enthusiasm to ensure they’re learning while having fun.

The subscriptions I’m requesting for two online platforms will allow my students to dive into math through unlimited games and digital activities.

What excites me most is the ability to create math activities tailored to the learning standards my students need to master. With Formative.com, I can design interactive drag-and-drop activities, matching games, and assessments that not only challenge my students but also provide them with instant feedback through self-grading assignments. This immediate response helps them understand their progress and areas for improvement.

The Blooket Plus subscription takes it a step further by giving me detailed reports on my students’ grasp of key math skills. Last year, Blooket was a huge hit in my classroom—students were fully engaged, and they’ve been asking for more ever since! It’s clear that these games not only make learning fun but also deepen their understanding.

Moreover, these platforms are especially beneficial for my students who require special education support, as they offer a wealth of visual effects that make learning more accessible and enjoyable.

I’m confident that incorporating these games and activities into my lessons will keep my students excited and engaged, all while boosting their math skills. Thank you for helping me make math a thrilling adventure for my students!
