1) The game automatically tiers instruction. The game starts off very easy, so even the math-reluctant students enjoy success and become fully engaged in playing, while motivating them to stay in the game and win, as the game gradually becomes more challenging.

2) Albert’s Insomnia improves math fact fluency, which is the foundation for every student’s successful math career. Almost every teacher tells us, “My kids do not know their math facts!”

Attributes

3) Creates Critical and Creative Thinking Opportunities and Challenges

4) The game is differentiated, so teachers from all disciplines (Gifted & Talented to Special Education) find it effective.

5) Improves Mental Math and Concentration Skills

6) Intuitively teaches factoring, order of operations, number sense, and so much more!

Albert is ready for school! Teachers love Albert’s Classroom Kits. The kit includes 4 games, 4 score pads, professional lesson plans (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8), and a copy of Albert’s book, A True Math Story. These kits are an incredible value!

Electronic Resource Program or ERP

Albert’s ERP is an online version designed for use in formal education settings. The ERP is loaded with awesome assessment features that allow a simple game to serve as a live dashboard for math progress of an entire school or school system!

The ERP even shows a graph for administrators that plots average class scores over time (Sample graph on the next slide.) This feature allows effective, immediate utilization of the school’s additional resources (math coaches, para-pros, etc.) where they are needed most. A great tool for teacher evaluations!

The first day of school, kids could play the game for fifteen minutes, and the teacher will know which students need the most help, before any test is ever taken. The ERP statistics section for the teachers draws on the data base and shows students by rank and score (and changes in rank and score every time they play).

My favorite part!

The ERP also has a built-in competition mode! Albert’s Insomnia math bees could be modeled similarly to how spelling bees have been used for the last 50+ years. These competitions could be school-wide, county-wide, state-wide, or even WORLD-WIDE!

In time, the competitions will prove to be a valuable fundraising tool for schools, and better still, the competitions will serve as their own marketing campaign, helping create more competitions, better prizes and make fundraising even easier with sponsors.

What is unique about Albert’s Insomnia?

There are many math products out there that call themselves games, but in truth, they are math activities, not games.

This distinction has profound and enormous implications for the level of engagement and participation of the students!

Unique Properties

Teachers tell us they are using our ten framed, subitized cards for all their classroom card games and even use them as flash cards. Since the decks of Albert’s Insomnia have 4 suits of cards, numbered 1-12, students can play almost any card game with these decks, and it does not look like the students are gambling or playing poker.

Unique Properties

Page 17: Albert's Insomnia "A Game You  Can Count On"

With playing cards:• Teachers throw away 35% of the cards (aces,

jokers, jacks, queens, and kings).• Teachers then have to make cards so they have

1s, 11s and 12s. • Card decks are confusing for kids because they

are not correctly subitized. Flashcards:• Are archaic, expensive, and most of all, NOT

FUN! The only students that like flash cards already know the answers!

Unique Properties

RJB3 Games even has a completely different game designed that is perfectly geared for middle school markets. This new game will also plug right into the same ERP backend dashboard! This new game engine is still Top Secret until the intellectual property work is completed.

Let’s Play! Pretend we are shepherds, but not very good shepherds, we lost all of our sheep. Let’s go find them together and take turns counting them. Use these cards to find them! Albert’s only rule is each card may only be used once per target (turn.)

The game starts off very easy, intentionally, to get everyone engaged in the “play”, taking turns, competing, etc. to “hook” even the most reluctant math students. Let’s keep going!

Play

Since players don’t know where the game will end, the “high school rule” is: the last player to use an exponent or factorial in their answer is the winner. Allow more time for this version; the flocks get very large!

Conclusion

But my kids don’t know how to multiply and divide?To play with little lambs, not multiplying and dividing yet, deal out 5 or 6 cards. The game still works the same, giving all the critical and creative thinking skills opportunities as before. The game can help teach K-2 students learn to take multiple steps to solve a problem while learning and discovering math is fun!
