WALT: Take turns to share our mathematical thinking

Last week we tried to answer the problem 38x12 using a strategy where you had to breakup the biggest number by place value to get the answer like: 49x5
40x5 = 200
9x5 = 45
200+45 = 245

Games and Learning

This is a blogpost about games.

My favourite games (digital and non-digital) are:

* Rules Of Survival








*Creative Destruction








*Mainland Wars

*Ravenfield

*Dream League Soccer



The reason/s why I enjoy playing these games are:

* It is a thrilling experience when your 1v1 with another player
*The colorful graphics and nice gameplay make it a really good battle royale
*The combination of maths and strategy and increasing difficulty as you progress is good for a game that is not that known.
*A blocky shooter with the best game features makes it one my favorite FPS’s
*My fascination with soccer and games makes this a game that matches me

Learning could be made much more fun and interesting if it included these elements of a game:

*Leaderboards give a competition between students
*Experience points show students how good or bad they are making them do better
*Good features makes excellent gameplay
*Simple graphics is a concept that can make students more focused because they don’t have to look much
*Special item and in game currency are a god way to make it more interesting
