KAHOOT
Skills emphasised
By offering interactive learning experiences, students can strengthen and practice, in this case multiplications, and they don’t realize that they are learning. Students can play in groups or in pairs, where they can develop cooperative work, or, of course, they can play individually. Also, they learn to lose and win, as they earn coins and who has more coins wins.
Layout description
First of all, as they are learning the multiplications in math class, we will review it in our English class, we could do some typical exercises or we could do a worksheet and then we will start playing Kahoot after reminding the content, so we are playing and learning. Since they can play in pairs, groups or individually, they can play in all three ways which is very important for them.
When would you use it? How? Are the resources ready to use in class?
As teachers, we have to talk with the mathematics teacher and we have to explain and begin with the exercises simultaneously in both classes, maths and English. Then, we will need laptops or another electronic device such as computers or tablets. We can use an activity that is already done or we can create a new one if we want, always according to the level of our students. Then when we have chosen the activity we can start playing always explaining how to play before.
Why have you chosen such teaching material?
We have chosen Kahoot because sometimes the traditional class seems to be very boring for our students, then we can convert this class in something funny and interesting for them where competition and game are firstly. The goal is to play but the most important thing is to learn.
