This project represents my strategy to engage students as a middle school mathematics teacher at Oxon Hill Middle School (OHMS) in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The strategy showcases my approach to integrate games into my lesson plans as a mechanism to drive student engagement and help students achieve academic success.
It is divided into three sections: a background on my teaching and school environment, three sample case studies from games I have used in my classroom, and a final section that summarizes my reflections and lessons learned from implementing this strategy.
The project consists of one PDF file, which includes a 15 page report designed to have pictures and games embedded in the document.
A snippet of one lesson plan I made, where students competed in a battle royale style game.
A roll based system I used to create and compete in the First Lego League, a middle school robotics competition.
