Zearn.org: Math (Technology)

Are you “Zearn-ing” with your Eureka Math?
Do you teach in grades K-5? Want a user-friendly, easy access, student engaging website that is designed to support and match your Eureka math modules and lessons?  Well, Zearn.org it is!
What is Zearn and why use it in your classroom?
	Zearn.org is a website designed to go along with Eureka Math.  It includes videos, practice problems, and sprints, and the cool thing is that it is FREE!  “With Zearn Math, students learn in two ways: Independent Digital Lessons and Small Group Instruction. Combined, every student has a daily personalized learning experience.”  Watching the video below will give you an even better vision and understanding of what this website is all about.
Watch this three-minute video of how and what Zearn is. (you can also watch this video directly from Zearn.org, but you must scroll down and click “Boring stuff for grown-ups” and then scroll down to “Learn more about Zearn.”)
Ways to use Zearn in the classroom...
	Try out Zearn in your math U.A. groups or centers. Use it as a pre-teach to your lessons.  Use it as independent practice after your lesson.  Use it for reteaching or intervention.  You can even try it as a flipped classroom. The possibilities are endless.  My students are always excited and engaged whenever I require them to use Zearn.  This website has become part of my daily routine and I highly recommend you incorporate into your lessons in some fashion as well.  Once you set up your roster you can assign the specific module and lesson you want your students to work on.  When I first tried this, I just let my students free to figure it out and become the “content” expert and teach me how it works and what they have to do.  It helped take some of the pressure off of me to have to fully learn another website right away before they even use it.  Once students started getting it down, they were excitedly able to share with me how it works and what they had to accomplish.   Our students can easily access Zearn on their Symbaloo home page.  If you try it out for the first time or just happen to revisit it after reading this post, please let me know below how it is working for you or how you use it your classroom!                          Tech-ing with a purpose,   Tiffani Bossieux
