Our friends at MIND Research Institute sponsored the K-12 Game-a-thon this past year.  “The K-12 Game-a-thon challenges students to design, build and share a game that features creative and unusual solution­­s to mathematical problems.”

Avocado fourth grade teams collaborated, created and invented indoor games, apps, and outdoor games that addressed one or more mathematical topic. Our student teams participated in this competition on their own time with support from their teachers Mrs. Gillis and Mrs. Ortega.  They enjoyed the process which allowed them to think about math outside of the classroom.  

Approximately 100 entries were submitted from across the United States.  We would like to recognize all of our Gators that participated, and would like to congratulate the “Fractioneers” team from Mrs. Gillis’s class for being identified as one of the “2016 Top 5 Game-a-thon Teams”!  Avocado’s “Fractioneers” team received an awards package and is now immortalized in the Game-a-thon Hall of Fame!  Congratulations, “Fractioneers”!  Check out their Fraction Tag video.
