Sometimes, returning to the basics is crucial. In an ever- changing world, the ability to learn how to learn is increasingly important, and the fundamental skills of reading, writing, and counting remain essential for every child.

Indeed, digital tools offer many possibilities for developing skills such as communication and collaboration. They can also make learning situations more interactive and authentic, diversify forms of feedback, create multidisciplinary contexts, and so on. They allow for differentiated learning paths, simplifying the inclusion of students with special needs or difficulties.

What is Meant by Playing in Math Class?

It means pretty much the same thing as regular playing. It can be a game, or not. It could be anything that we get drawn into, as opposed to being pushed into. It is fun, maybe challenging, organic, non-threatening, and fluid. It can look different on different days, some days in groups, sometimes individually. There is some structure, possibly a common goal, but with more than one way to reach it. Or it might involve creativity, like drawing or building something.
