One of the ways we make learning fun is to play an interactive quiz called Kahoot! This game can test pupils’ knowledge of any subject the teacher creates a quiz about. Pupils enjoy playing competitively against their peers to climb the leader board. The teacher can download the results at the end to show them how the pupils managed with each question. Are a lot of pupils struggling with their 7 times table? Or 3D shapes? This information can be used to plan future lessons or individual’s next steps.
If you attended the Numeracy Information evening on Tuesday, you would have had a chance to play along with the other parents and carers to test your knowledge of the 72 Learn Its. Although some of you were a little apprehensive at first, it sounded like you were enjoying yourself whilst playing along!
Some parents asked if these quizzes could be shared, so I have listed the current maths quizzes I have created. Please search for my username: karenmmcdowall to find these Kahoots! Read the instructions below to find out how play the games.
