Learning Maths Through Games 20th May 2014

Why play games? What educational benefits are there to be gained from games? Are some games better than others? Can we justify the use of games in Maths lessons?

What is a mathematical game? 2 or more players Take turns A ‘winning’ situation Be able to exercise some choice

Two distinct purposes Games with a specific mathematical learning objective Games that develop thinking skills, mathematical strategy, intuition and puzzle solving

Some examples… Games with a specific mathematical learning objective http://nrich.maths.org/8283 http://nrich.maths.org/6082/note

Some examples… 2. Games that develop thinking skills, mathematical strategy, intuition or puzzle solving http://nrich.maths.org/6071/note http://nrich.maths.org/6589

6 + 4 = 10 10 take away 9 makes 1 1 add 17 is 18 18…… Competitive aim – stop your partner from going Collaborative aim – cross off as many as possible

Benefits of Using Games Motivation Positive attitude Increased learning Generation of discussion Different levels of learning Assessment Home and school Independence Language barriers
