Let customers speak for us
This resource was exactly what I needed! The directions were clear, engaging, and easy for my students to follow. The visuals and activities kept them interested, and it aligned perfectly with the standards. I appreciated that it worked well for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Definitely a time-saver and worth it!
Well thought out resource and useful in my classroom. Thank you!
My students love a good competition, and they loved this game!
Great resource to use as a unit review! Students enjoyed playing.
Students had so much fun with this activity. It was challenging, but the fun aspect truly engaged the students.
My students really enjoyed this review game. We ended up splitting into four teams so that more students were involved on each question and then each team could pick who they wanted to assign their points to. We were able to use the slides for this and we had a lot of fun. My students have asked if this can be our next review game too!
We use this during small groups to help with identifying prime and composite numbers.
A great resource for my seventh grade math students!
Fun way to practice input and output with third graders!
Highly engaging way to reinforce basic robotic concepts

Review works a lot better when students actually want to participate, and games give them a reason to jump in. Students who normally sit back during review often jump into the action, working with their teammates and getting caught up in every question and result. Play review games regularly and students start preparing for them, because just like sports, they know being ready gives them a better chance to win.
The excitement is great, but the research is even better—educational games have been linked to stronger achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
