Findings

           Throughout my years as an educator, I am constantly amazed at how many resources are available to teachers.  We all know, that it is easy to spend hours, evens days, weeding through the helpful lesson ideas, and the not so helpful ones. Throughout my project, I dedicated hours upon hours sorting through the hundreds of math games that I have stumbled upon and modifying them to fit my students’ needs and the classroom culture I have created.  In the first section of my findings you will find a compilation of math games that students enjoyed and that were useful for teaching various math concepts. You will not only see detailed instructions on how to play the game, but helpful tips for implementing them, as well as ways you can modify the game in order to differentiate for your students. This can be the beginning of your journey of making math games a part of your classroom culture. If you are not so interested in the nitty gritty of each game, feel free to skip ahead to the second part of my findings to learn about how games have transformed my classroom culture, my teaching and the ways my students now view mathematics. I hope you enjoy!
