Well Played, Grades 6-8
Students love math games and puzzles, but how much are they really learning from the experience? Too often, math games are thought of as just a fun activity or enrichment opportunity. Well Played shows you how to make games and puzzles an integral learning component that provides teachers with unique access to student thinking.
Â
This third book in the series helps you engage students in grades 6 8 in discussions of mathematical ideas and deepen their conceptual understanding. Â It also helps you develop students fluency with number systems; ratio and proportional relationships; expressions and equations, statistics and probability; and patterns, graphs, and functions. 'Edit OK?' It s still sort of stilted (I couldn't think of another word for help ) but there were way too many semicolons in the sentence.
Â
The twenty-five games and puzzles in Well Played, which have all been field-tested in diverse classrooms, contain:
- explanations of the mathematical importance of each game or puzzle and how it supports student learning;
- variations for each game or puzzle to address a range of learning levels and styles;
- clear step-by-step directions; and
- classroom vignettes that model how best to introduce the featured game or puzzle.Â
Â
The book also includes a separate chapter with suggestions for how to effectively manage games and puzzles in diverse classrooms; reproducibles that provide directions, game boards, game cards, and puzzles; assessment ideas; and suggestions for online games, puzzles, and apps.
Â
Well Played will help you tap the power of games and puzzles to engage students in sustained and productive mathematical thinking.
