5 Ways Digital Technology
Can Make Math Class Fun Again

Covering Today
The world is split into two kinds of people: those who
succeed in math class and everybody else. At least, this has
been the popular point of view—that those who are good at
math are math geeks. While it‘s true that research shows that
genetics have an impact on intelligence and aptitude, teachers
and students shouldn’t give up on math class so quickly.
LEARNING PLANS
The National Association for The Education of
Young Children states that developing early skills in
math is the key to building a foundation for future
math learning. Math is difficult and boring for most
students, but educators can use digital technology
to boost student engagement and make math class
fun and exciting again.

5 Ways to Make
Math Class Fun:
1. Game-Based Learning
Games like Math Breakers are taking a different approach to learning.
By integrating fundamental math concepts into an immersive world, students
can explore math concepts and play fun games at the same time. This is what
videogames do best: gradually increase the game’s difficulty while intensifying
the player’s emotional investment. When instituted in the classroom, these
digital solutions can reinvigorate stale or tedious exercises and keep
students engaged in math class.

2. Video–Assisted Learning
One of the biggest problems in teaching math is the number of
abstract concepts. It can be hard for students to visualize them and make
them relevant. If teachers use videos to illustrate fundamental math
concepts applied to everyday life, they can make lessons more interesting.
We’ve all asked the question: “When will I ever use this?” Using applications
like SharePoint or OneNote to embed and share visualization of abstract
concepts can provide an immediate answer.

3. Humor and YouTube
Infusing humor into tedious classwork can have a positive effect on student
engagement. YouTube has many channels dedicated to math–based humor.
Numberphile is particularly fun.

4. Math Websites
The ever–increasing accessibility of the internet provides students with options
for learning outside of the classroom. There is a plethora of math websites
that offer assisted instruction for a variety of math concepts, and students can
access them on their own time. Funbrain.com is one of the more popular sites
that students can visit.

5. Virtual Manipulatives
Manipulatives such as Base Ten Blocks and Tangrams are commonly used in
math class to help students concretize abstract concepts. Virtual manipulatives
harness the capabilities of the web to put these instruments at every student‘s
fingertips. And because these digital tools circumvent the physical limitations
of their concrete counterparts, they can be used for the analysis of more com-
plex concepts (i.e. more blocks, more options for exploration).

On their own, these digital solutions have the potential to present math topics
in interesting—if not downright fun—ways. However, putting them all together
in a user-friendly digital classroom provides less distractions for students and
permits educators to better monitor student activity.
Intuitive user interfaces like LiveTiles Mosaic offer convenient, no-code solu-
tions for integration. With the free Mosaic tool, teacher can create a beautiful
interactive digital classroom for their students’ learning needs.

As this screen shot illustrates, dedicated tiles for video links provide instant
access to relevant visualizations, which is perfect for comprehending those
aforementioned abstract concepts. Within seconds, tiles can be set up so that
students can open teacher-approved websites that provide assisted instruction
to struggling students. Having all of these options at the students’ fingertips
makes it easier for them to optimize their class time.

Digital solutions enable students to spend more time on the things that
matter. If teachers are willing to integrate digital technology into the classroom,
their students will not only succeed in math class, they’ll have some fun
in the process.
