5 Core Principles of GamerMath

1. Culturally Responsive Teaching

• Increase engagement by incorporating relevant cultural examples and context into math lessons.

2. Teach Conceptual Understanding

• Demonstrate why mathematical procedures work rather than rely on memorization.

3. Promote Comprehension Through Visual Representation

• Use gaming visuals to make math more exciting and to help students "see" the math.

4. Scaffolded Learning

• Breakdown complex concepts into smaller, more manageable steps and gradually increase the complexity.

5. Incorporating Real-World Applications

• Connect math to practical applications in everyday life to help them see the value of math.
