Pixel Art is nothing new for the classroom- but my students still love it. I pretty much use it for every unit. It’s great self-checking practice I can’t argue with.
But I do like to change things up and keep things fresh in my room! So here are some simple ways that I spice things up a bit.
- I make it into a relay! I have students break into groups of 4 and make a line in front of a computer. Each students solves one problem and goes to the back of the line, etc. You can set up where students have say 3 pixel arts to complete this way, because they will finish one really quickly.
- Award tickets! Check out my super student approved ticket system.
- Musical chairs. Similar to the relay, you may want to set up 3+ pixel arts to solve. Play music and when the music stops, everyone bumps over one seat. (Good practice for learning clockwise + counterclockwise.) Play the music and students pick up on the new pixel art in front of them.
Be sure to check out my pixel art that I have created for my own middle school math students!
