It's Finally Here!

Do you know Greg Tang?  If you are not familiar with his work in math education and games, look him up - or better yet, go to his website and explore his games and ideas.  www.kakooma.com

About a month ago, I received a notice that the Kakooma site that I love so much was going to change on June 1.  I was worried.  My classes have come to rely on Fridays being our day for "Kakooma Challenge" and all the fun (engaged learning) that goes with that. 

His new site looks fabulous.  I know I will use those games as wasy to teach strategies for mental math.  There are games for every skill and every ability level.  Once again, Greg Tang has hooked me on his math teaching methods. 

Take the time to look through his materials, games, and of course, Kakooma.  The games reinforce strategies and provide the practice necessary to master those.  The materials can be downloaded and incorporate other kinds of math practice.  I know I will be using these with my students in August. 

What do you think?
