Game-based learning is a topic we have revisited numerous times on this blog. The implications it has on student engagement and learning cannot be overstated. If you have not already experimented with game-based learning with your class, make 2015 the year you do! One program that is doing an unbelievable job of gamifying math is Prodigy Math Game. This helps with my planning and differentiation for my students.

In the gaming world, perseverance, problem solving, and creativity are the keys to success. There is no such thing as failing in a digital game. Like gaming, learning math requires grit and persistence—cornerstones of growth mindset—and is grounded in problem solving, flexible thinking, and pattern recognition. The same kind of tenacity is crucial when learning math. Games welcome players of all ability levels in the same environment.

While engaging activities often make learning more exciting, they do not always translate into increased practice and improved skill development. Game-based learning, however, has been proven to engage students in a way that encourages increased practice. This is especially true of digital games that take an adaptive approach to learning, which allows students to learn at their own pace.
