Over the last 8 weeks the CUTE MEMORY TEAM have been partnering with several schools in the East Midlands region of the UK to introduce and evaluate the power of games based learning activities to start Year 6 maths intervention lessons.
Using the NINTENDO DS LITE HANDHELD CONSOLES - every child starts there small group maths intervention session with 10 minutes using MATHS BRAIN TRAINING GAMES.
Our early feedback and research from the children and teaching staff involved has been really, really positive. Using the NINTENDO DS LITE HANDHELD CONSOLE appears to be a very motivational start to the sessions. The children now take on the responsibility of collecting their DS LITE'S.
The MATHS BASED BRAIN TRAINING ACTIVITIES really do get the children reved up regarding their mental maths work. They are also very keen to record thier own scores and progress, and they want to improve thier score from session to session.
More findings and feedback to follow - over the next 3 months the students will be involved in a series of "student voice" discussions to get an even stronger feel of the impact of this GAMING RESOURCE-with the intention to introduce it as a WHOLE SCHOOL RESOURCE.
