Software-Math
Tired of dealing with bored kids whose attention is fixated on a Gameboy or Playstation game and not on the algebra you’ve written on the board? Try teaching through a game, like Tabula Digita’s DimensionM MultiPlayer 2.0, a computer game that can sneak in math instruction while the kids think they’re playing. I know it sounds sneaky but it works. Students can play alone or against each other in a series of missions that correspond to over teaching 200 math concepts and skills. Aimed at 3- to 12-graders, the program is aligned to state standards, can introduce and reinforce concepts and track a student’s progress.
