Playing games is an important part of our Math Workshop!

“People of all ages love to play games that are fun and motivating. Games give students opportunities to explore fundamental number concepts, such as the counting sequence, one-to-one correspondence, and computation strategies. Engaging mathematical games can also encourage students to explore number combinations, place value, patterns, and other important mathematical concepts. Further, they afford opportunities for students to deepen their mathematical understanding and reasoning.” by Kitty Rutherford, NCTM.org

Be sure to check out the Math Games page on this blog to learn how to play many of the games that students are playing in our classroom. Have some fun, too and try playing something new.
