It is not very often we hear, “I love math” in school but that is the response educators are looking for. Math should be a place of wonder and excitement. Students should want to see connections, patterns and get excited about numbers. This session takes a look at how we, as teachers, can harness the power of games to build mathematical knowledge and develop thinking and communication skills in our students. Math games are an underutilized tool in our teacher tool box. Come and learn how powerful simple games can be for student learning!
