Everyday Math Online Games

Our district just purchased the Everyday Math Curriculum for grades K-6th. Brighton got the "deluxe" version of this curriculum which means there are many technology components available to students, parents and teachers. Teachers are thrilled to have a "deluxe" version of a curriculum because it seems like it has been a long while since Brighton had something shiny and new worth bragging about. I have only received positive feedback from parents about the new math program and I can tell they are pleased with the convenience of so many resources available to them online to help their child with math. Ever since my classroom has had the opportunity to work with their own Chromebooks, they have been logging into their Everyday Math accounts at least three times a week. They play any of the online games available for the specific lesson we are on. I have seen an improvement with performance and I have been surprised that our lessons have been progressing at a quicker pace since we have implemented the technology. I also know that more kids are logging in at home to continue playing games they may not have had a chance to finish at school. Not because they have to, but because they want to! There is a way to have students take an online assessment through Everyday Math Online, but I haven't figured it out yet. I hope to try it at least once before the school year is over. I am curious to see if the program gives you an immediate result - one less paper item to take home and grade! It feels great to take an adopted Brighton curriculum and enrich it to the full extent with useful, purposeful technology! Click HERE to see some neat third grade games from EDM online!
