I was at this Alternative Ed Conference and a guy walked by and said
“That game should be used in every class in America! The last 10 minutes of class - the teacher should play BrainSavvy to review what she has just taught.”

16 OF OUR NEWEST TESTIMONIALS | by Dr. Jamie McCracken
BrainSavvy has been having recent success with math teachers!!!
It’s so easy to use.
Here is how I use it with math tutoring:
Each student uses a small dry erase lapboard and they use their color marker (comes with game)
I write a math problem on the large board that is metal backed and the BrainSavvy game clings there (note: it stays up 24/7 - it is relatively small for a reason….it doesn’t take up much board space and it motivates kids to study just by seeing it).
All the students (I work with 6th thru 9th) work the math problem and then hold up the answer. Everyone who gets it correctly, gets their magnetic brain moved a space on the board. The person who gets it first, gets to move 2 spaces. When someone lands on a colored square, they get to roll the dice on their next turn.
It motivates kids to do math for up to a full hour!!!
They walk in to class demanding that I put their brain pawns back where they were so they can continue the game. They are eager and ready to dig in (to math)…but to them, they are playing a game, and in reality they are doing math, but to them the math just just a means to an end….playing a game.

Brain Savvy Classroom Edition | by Brain Savvy
Wow!
I won a Brain Savvy Game at The Differentiated Instruction Conference in 2007. This is the first year that I have been able to use Brain Savvy in the classroom. My 1st Graders LOVE it! Great motivator and team-work builder!
