Teach with Blocks
Why Blocks?
Students learn when they’re engaged – in reading, in-class assignments or homework. Blocks are based on years of research on students persistence in math software.
7 Gen Blocks EDU comes with four types of resources to make implementation easy.
Because we know teachers already have too many demands on their time, we’ve jumpstarted game building with ready to use components to include as-is or modify.
Assessment
Suggested math problems aligned to standards. These can be included in your game with or without modification.
Scripts
Sample scripts for game narratives. Don’t know have a story to start? We have an award-winning writer to give you a hand.
Lessons
Standards-aligned lessons include games made with blocks. Use as-is, incorporating example games made with blocks, modify or simply peruse to see how blocks can be implemented.
Images
No more cutting out shapes, buying packages of candy to sort. 7 Gen Blocks comes with mages for math problems, including fractional shapes, number lines and objects
Backgrounds
Visual novel backgrounds, including backgrounds with diverse characters
Math Images
Images for math problems, including fractional shapes, number lines and objects
Objects
Artwork for search games (and other games to be added)
Research-Based
Even non-math lovers persevere if …
* Software is front-loaded with narrative and games before the math problems (so students are ‘hooked’).
* Game content and instructional content alternate in short time intervals.
