GamerMath™ provides a one-of-a-kind, engaging curriculum that uses gaming and esports as a vehicle for standards-based math instruction. GamerMath I was created to align with elementary math standards. Through video games they know and love, students explore math concepts such as lines, angles, multiplication, time, money, addition, subtraction, and fractions.
Five Core Principles of GamerMath™
- Culturally responsive teaching: increase engagement by incorporating relevant cultural examples and contexts into math lessons
- Teach conceptual understanding: demonstrate why mathematical procedures work rather than rely on memorization
- Promote comprehension through visual representation: use gaming visuals to make math more exciting and to help students “see” the math
- Scaffolded learning: break down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable steps and gradually increase the complexity
- Incorporating real-world applications: connect math to practical applications in everyday life to help them see the value of math
Comprehensive virtual professional development for one year is included:
- Live launch training, including a curriculum overview and courseware setup.
- Ongoing live training every two weeks – teachers can join optional office hours to assess progress, address student challenges, and share feedback.
- On demand support through online forums that feature a 24-hour response time, community discussion, feedback, and troubleshooting.
