Addition and Subtraction Kahoot Review Games

As of this writing, I have created over 150 Kahoot games for my students.  There are lots of reasons to love Kahoot.  Not only is it great review and fun for kids, but it is wonderful for a quick assessment for teachers. Without question, Kahoot is a staple in my classroom and something we play almost daily.

The main reason I use Kahoot each day is because it is a terrific formative assessment tool.  I like to play the Kahoot games at the start of my Math class with the topic we learned about the previous day. Instead of an “exit ticket” which is normally given at the end of class, I think of these games as like an entry ticket to set the foundation for that day’s lesson.  This lets me know which students need more support and review and what skills we might need to go over again.  I like games at the game because it is attention getting and I don’t need to worry as much about the timing as I would at the end of class time.  This gives me the freedom to change the pace of the game as needed.  If students are doing well, I move the pace quickly – if I’m seeing gaps in their understanding, I slow down and use it as an opportunity to reteach. I always take a picture of the winners (and perfect scorers) and post it to Class Dojo so students get some acknowledgement and parents can see as well. They all love this.

A “green screen” celebration!

Something else fun I do is I give out badges to games winners and perfect scorers. I made these simple badges that I print on 2 inch x 2 inch labels.  Students collect these throughout the year in their Math spirals.  See this post for more about how I use badges in my classroom.

I wanted to make these Kahoot games more accessible for my readers and any other 4th grade math teachers out there who would like to play these games as well. Each game is linked to the game image thumbnails below.  I listed them in the general order that I introduce each subtopic with my fractions unit.  I have also included the practice activities from my TpT store that I use to practice each skill.
