Play Math: The Best Math Game Out There Gr. 4-6

Math can be boring but not with Play Math! Each week, we start with a short overview of the math topic. Then we jump into friendly and competitive games to build our math skills using Gimkit and Blooket. Repetition and games=fun learning.

Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Research demonstrates that learning is attained and retained through games and fun. Why? Endorphins, the feel good hormone, is released while competing and having fun. Endorphins increase happiness. Bonus, endorphins also increase memory! Each class will start with a 5 minute or less interactive lesson or review of a math topic. Students will play games online through the gaming platforms Gimkit and Blooket on my private accounts. Sportsmanship is an added skill gained through this course. This is an ongoing class so students can come and go according to their learning needs and schedules. I will provide resource sheets on each topic. The contestants are welcome to use the resource sheets during the games. 

I am taking a break from Outschool during the months of March, April, May, and June. Stay tuned for classes in July. :) 

Do you know what it means when a class is marked ongoing? Each week's classes are independent. A fresh activity occurs each week. Learners do not need prior experience from past classes. Learners can subscribe and stay for all the classes while other learners may drop in from time to time. The enrollment fee is automatically deducted from your account on a weekly basis. The enrollment fee covers both sessions for the upcoming week. It is easy to stop the subscription. In my classes, I enjoy seeing learners every week and I also enjoy meeting new students. It is easy to come and go in any of my ongoing classes. I also understand that life is busy. If you miss the "stop subscription" deadline for the week, just contact me. I am able to provide refunds. This is something special I do for my learners' families. Please also know, I understand life is expensive. If finances get in the way of enrollment, send a message to me. We can work out a price that fits your budget.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I love teaching and learning. I normally teach English classes on Outschool, yet, I still love other subjects. I taught math in elementary and middle school throughout my 15 years as a public school teacher. Math was difficult for me when I was in school. It doesn't have to be so difficult. I love math, now that I understand it. It is important that students know math fundamentals and have knowledge of the different areas of math. It is great brain exercise. Plus, math is used in the every day world. I have done a lot of reading and research on the positive effects of games for learning. Another important factor to increase learning is repetition. Gimkit and Blooket are perfect gaming platforms to use for repetition. I want students to have fun learning how to do math as they also remember the skills. 

I taught special education for 15 years in public schools. I have taught online for the last 5 years. I also homeschool my son.
