Visual Multiplication

I often hear that if students could just memorize there multiplication facts they would be better off. I see how learning them is essential in what I teach at the secondary level however, if they are a visual learner or don’t know why it works it may be hard to learn or remember. Here’s a quick way I am showing students I’m working with this summer. This is a visual way that shows them the groups and you can discuss how it’s repeated addition.

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.
