An educational tool that I will use in my classroom is, www.aplusmath.com. This is a great educational tool. My students will not only learn about math, but they will learn it in a fun way. The students are able to receive feedback from this tool, and they are given the right answers to the mistakes they made. Growing up I was hardly ever taught math in a fun environment. I was always sitting at a desk, listening to the teacher lecture, and watching numbers and equations that made no sense to me written on the board. I never had the desire to learn math or to even put an effort into it. Why would I want this for my students? I want my students to be able to learn in a fun environment. My students will be more open to learning and it will help them grasp the concepts.
There are some negatives that come with using this. I do worry that my students may not learn the math, and just use this tool to play and receive all of their answers. If the students do not put on effort into this, they will gain nothing. This is true in any subject. You have to give a little to get something in return. I believe that if they are having fun and I am switching things up for them, they are more likely to learn and do their work rather than not.
Parents, I know this may be a concern to you. You may be thinking, how is my child going to learn anything about math while playing games? Well, I can promise you that this tool is more than just games. The children can get help with homework, make flashcards, work on practice tests, and many more things. I also believe children need to mix up the way they learn, and doing something that looks pleasing to them can help. I know this is a great tool, and it will help my students succeed!
