Gimkit Update

 


Gimkit recently added this new feature and my students went crazy.  We played this yesterday on Factoring and several things occurred.
  1. The kids were engaged and talking to each other.
  2. They were working together to figure out who was an impostor.
  3. They worked on factoring equations for an hour and then begged to play again when it ended.
This new way to play really brought out additional skills from students.  The students had to discuss their findings with each other to piece together all the clues.  They helped each other out with the math for the good of the group.  I heard from some parents that their kids talked about math class all night and how much fun it was today.  If you haven't tried it I highly suggest it.

Long Division in Google Docs

  I was making a long division worksheet for my students in Google Docs when I realized that it wasn't under equations. Here's how to insert it.  This does not look very pretty so I have another video on how I do it in Google Sheets which takes longer but looks nicer.

Blooket Game

  A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it.  Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money.  Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT.  Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items.  Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as.  My students will play for hours if we let them.  When we finish a game they are ready for another round.  Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version.  They have games that are already made or you can create a new game.   My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best.  If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.
