7. Why Games are Helpful  Sweetens the Experience  Addictive: More Time on Task  Memorable

8. Plan A for Incorporating Games in an Algebra Class The Plan  Each Week One Required Game  Points Awarded Based on Level Achieved  All Students Must Play The Results  Students Stressed Out  Resentment of the Requirement

9. The Adjusted Implementation  Extra Credit Only  Demo’d Before Assigned  Most of the Points Just for Trying  Only “Gamers” Encouraged to Play
