Day 30 - Reward or Assessment

Math should be fun and engaging!  We have to change our instructional methods to engage the digital native population.  As a reward based on assessment performance Warrior Math uses Kahoot.it as a formative assessment tool in the classroom.  My mission is to help students think like mathematicians and to be able to persevere in problem solving.  Our daily tools and strategies include close reading, annotation skills, writing in math journals, and problem-solving, contextualization, decontextualization of passages, using tools to deepen our understanding of math and the outside world.  But sometimes we need something to be fun, engaging, and learning math at the same time.  During the next few weeks this blog will be introducing exactly how we are using technology to enhance learning of mathematics.
