Description
Students enjoy playing mathematical games. Participants will play games that can be modified to suit the needs of their students covering a variety of concepts.
Ideally, warmup games are less than 10 minutes, requiring basic materials. Some games can be played on whiteboards or paper. It’s important for students to have agency and ownership in their learning. Sheila will explain how students can design their own gameboards at their level and play games to consolidate their learning.
