In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Nearpod
Blooket
Jamboard

We will be playing age-appropriate fast-paced, competitive games. Some games will have timers in order to focus on fact fluency, and some have elements in which players can sabotage each other in small ways. I will make sure these are played in light-hearted, respectful and fun way, but this class may not be the best fit for learners sensitive to or anxious about these types of games.

We will be using the third-party websites listed below that provide interactive, fun opportunities for building mastery and fluency of math concepts and skills:
(each week) Blooket: Students love playing these fun, fast-paced games with math question banks that I am able to create and taylor to the needs of the class. The report I see after each game serves as a great informal assessment. I will post a direct link in the Zoom chat, students will simply enter their first name of nickname and begin playing the game. *No account or personal information needed
(some weeks) Google Jamboard: A great interactive tool for collaborative learning and sharing ideas. I will send a direct link in the Zoom chat that will allow students to enter directly into the specific Jamboard without any kind of sign-up * No account or personal information needed
(some weeks) Google Slides: I will usually use Google Slides to present lessons through the screen share function, but may at times give students the link for activities or games that I have created. *No account or personal information needed
