APPreciation

Jimi is back here in APPreciation, this time with Bingo Baker - a cool website to whip up a batch of bingo cards. The website has a variety of ready-to-use cards to choose from and you can even search for a specific type. Jimi says, 'The best thing is that you don't have to place the words on cards, all you have to do is add the list of words/images and choose the number of cards you want to create. It will generate different cards with you list of words/images for you to print'.

You can share the link with teachers / students once you create a Bingo card and they can easily play the game. Students can create their own Bingo card too.

We hope teachers use this fun tool shared by Jimi! Oh and yes, Nidhi B is an expert on the tool and is happy to help if anyone has questions.

Let's find out about the game from Alrina herself:

The first day I tried this game was with my homeroom class,I partnered with my co-teacher and demonstrated the game to our learners, Further to which learners were divided into groups of two. Our parents who have always been supportive helped our little learners to access the jamboard and pinned their child’s partner’s screen at their end (which would give their child a feeling of being paired with a friend and would help to build some conversation with each other). The learners were requested to keep their mics unmuted. To my surprise, our learners began to interact by asking each other which color token would their friend prefer, taking turns and placing the token by themselves on the board. We did have a few hiccups while working on the app as whenever the child was trying to drag the token the page would automatically refresh, but that did not stop our little learners from exploring. The parents quickly arranged for another device and helped their child continue the game.

To conclude I would suggest teachers to try this tool as it is child friendly and essy to work with.

Don't we all love shopping? Preksha created a super fun Math game on Google Forms by adding a shopping element to it. The game also has customised Bitmojis, speech bubbles, clean PNG images and good eye-catching graphics. There is also a code word that appears after a few questions, which is of use towards the end and is required to exit the game. I am pretty sure Grade 3 students will enjoy this fun learning game.

What are you waiting for, teachers? Go shopping! 🛍

After attending the Keynote WIT, Gunjan put up a huge effort and created a wonderful video showing Addition with Regrouping.

You can see how you can explain a Math concept in a simple way by using some Animations. Gunjan has also added a voice over explaining the concept as the video plays.

An interesting animation in the video is the note getting split into two parts with a pair of scissors 🗒✂️
