Keeping students engaged is top of mind for all educators, especially when coming back from a school break. Here are our top tips!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>

1) Make it fun, fun, fun!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

Math activities and tasks can be turned into games, adding play and fun to a skill being practiced.<\/p>\n

Students can access education-based games like \u201cLive Mathletics\u201d, allowing them to practice their math skills while competing against other students across the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>

2) Give Students Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

Providing choice gives students ownership over their learning. It allows educators to get student buy-in which will increase their motivation.<\/p>\n

From the Student Dashboard, students can select activities they want to work on. They are provided with visual feedback on their progress, including areas they are excelling in and areas that could use a little more practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>

3) Utilize blended-learning practices<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

This teaching method incorporates digital learning with traditional teaching methods, creating a blend of teacher-led and student-driven learning. In this type of environment, educators are seeing increased engagement among students and efficiency among teachers.<\/p>\n

In the Teacher Console under \u201cLibrary\u201d, educators can access eBooks containing lesson plans, teaching ideas, and rich learning tasks. These \u201coffline\u201d activities can be used to supplement online math learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>

4) Make it Adaptive<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

Ensure that students are engaged and completing math work appropriate to their skill level. Regular reporting and monitoring can help educators make informed learning decisions for their students.<\/p>\n

How to in Mathletics:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mathletics offers robust reporting on student effort, participation, activity, usage, and achievement. All reports can be found in the \u201cTeacher Console\u201d under \u201cReports\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>

5) Make it Rewarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

Acknowledging and rewarding progress can keep students motivated and engaged. Students deserve to be recognized for their achievements.<\/p>\n

How to in Mathletics:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Once students reach milestone levels of activity, achievement certificates are available to them. From the Teacher Console under \u201cReports\u201d select \u201cCertificates\u201d to download. In one click, you\u2019ll have ready-made certificates that just need to be printed!<\/p>\n<\/div>
