Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 34.  Today we are looking at Effectively Using Games to Build Mathematical Thinking & Reasoning

Today’s insight comes from Well Played: Building Mathematical Thinking Through Number Games & Puzzles by Linda Dacey, Karen Gartland, and Jayne Bamford Lynch.  As you hopefully know, I love Games. I grew up in a game playing family and still love playing games with my own children. So as I was preparing for a video I did recently over on my Vlog, The Recovering Traditionalist, I was reading back through the Well Played books.  There is a book for PreK-2 and one for 3-5.

This paragraph from page 6 really made me stop and think about how we use games in the classroom.  Get all the info here: buildmathminds.com/34
