WHAT IS KAHOOT?

If you’re not familiar with Kahoot, it’s a free web-based program that allows teachers to pose questions to children who then respond from a selection of answers electronically on their own devices. It records the answer each child gives to a question, as well as how quickly they respond, so teachers can use the data to assess their children. Ultimately, it a fun and engaging tool that can be used to challenge and assess learners.

There are different types of Kahoots available; quizzes, surveys, jumbles, discussions and challenges. In this blog, the first in our Kahoot series, we’ll be looking at Kahoot quizzes and how teachers could use them to support learners in mathematics.

What is a Kahoot quiz?

A Kahoot quiz is a series of questions with between two to four multiple-choice answers to choose from. Teachers can create their own quizzes, duplicate and edit others created and shared by other teachers, or simply play Kahoots created by other users.

Teachers set a game to play and a game pin is created and displayed on screen. Children connect to the game by going to https://kahoot.it and entering the game pin into the first box, then their name into the second. Once all children have connected, you’re ready to start the quiz.
