Sneak Peek: Student Favorites! Not sure where to start? Here are some early favorites from teachers:

❄️Fraction Frosting

Fraction Frosting is a competitive game where students build donuts using fractional pieces.  The game reinforces recognition of unit fractions and combining fractions to make a whole. (3.NF.A.1) 

🃏 Draw a Card

In Draw a Card, players draw digital cards that prompt them to identify shapes, name attributes, or draw irregular quadrilaterals and advance along a game path. The game builds fluency with recognizing and classifying quadrilaterals. (3.G.A.1)

⚡Power Slide

In Power Slide, teams slide an object from a start zone, aiming to get as close to the power zone as possible. The distance from the slider to the power zone is measured with a ruler and recorded on the scorecard. Power Slide develops skills in measurement, line plots, and data interpretation. (3.G.A.1)

🎲 4Square

4Square is a competitive coordinate plane game for two players or teams. Players strategically select coordinates to build connections that can form squares one unit on each side. 4Square builds fluency with ordered pairs  and working  in the coordinate plane. (5.G.A.1, 5.G.A.2)

When Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) faced a challenge familiar to many educators—engaging students in mastering essential math skills—they found a game-changing solution that transformed their classrooms in just 15 minutes a day: Math Basecamp by Legends of Learning.

From Frustration to Fun: The Power of Math Basecamp

Before introducing Math Basecamp, elementary students at BISD struggled with basic math fact fluency, a fundamental skill necessary for higher-level problem-solving.

Traditional methods and other digital tools fell short, lacking the excitement and individualized approach needed to make a lasting impact.

That’s when Sally Legault, BISD’s Elementary Math Specialist, turned to Math Basecamp—and everything changed.

Engagement Like Never Before

With Math Basecamp’s interactive, researched-based approach, BISD saw immediate results. Over 3 months of usage, students increased the number of mastered facts by 17%.

The secret? A blend of fun mini-games, hands-on activities, and data-driven feedback empowers students to track their progress and celebrate their achievements in an average 15-minute session per day.

“It’s individualized; students work on what they need to work on, it’s a quick fifteen minutes per day, and they can see their progress. They get excited about that,” said Sally Legault, highlighting the enthusiastic response from students.

Transforming Classrooms, One Game at a Time

Over 3,000 students in BISD are now regularly choosing Math Basecamp, and teachers have noticed a shift in classroom dynamics.

Students who once resisted math are now the first to ask, “Can we do Math Basecamp?” They cheer for their time on the platform and approach math with excitement and confidence, thanks to the engaging, game-like experience tailored to their individual needs.

Aryah Fradkin, Co-Founder of Legends of Learning, recognizes this transformation: “Kids who wouldn’t usually do math love Math Basecamp. Every kid WANTS to learn. I’ve been in a lot of classrooms and talked to kids about their experiences, and they’re over the moon about Math Basecamp.”

Real-Time Progress for Teachers and Students

Beyond student enthusiasm, Math Basecamp provides impactful tools for educators to boost math engagement.

Teachers at BISD use built-in data reports to monitor student growth and customize lessons based on individual needs. This adaptive approach has not only improved math fluency but also empowered teachers to differentiate instruction, ensuring that every student receives the support they need.

The results speak for themselves: math scores are on the rise, and teachers now have a reliable, engaging tool that students love.
