DeeDee Leoni, educational consultant, created a fun Learning Game Tracker for students to excel in their math fluency and help teachers easily monitor usage. DeeDee also provides some excellent guidance in how to easily implement Learning Games in your classroom:

“Learning Games offer students engaging math fluency practice. Help your students get the most from Learning Games by following these three steps:

1. Think about when you want your students to use Learning Games.

• Independent math centers or rotation stations
• Homework
• Before- and after-school programs
• Free, unstructured time

2. Get your students started with Learning Games.

• Let students know where to find the games.
• Let students know when they can play the games, so they still get in required Personalized Instruction time.

• Have student complete the Learning Games Tracker each time they play a game.

3. Check in on Learning Games activity using the Learning Games reports and Learning Games Tracker.
