Synopsis

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, Grades K-2: Building Mathematical Thinking Through Number Games and Puzzles shows you how to make games and puzzles an integral and engaging part of the math classroom.

Now in its second edition, Well Played, Grades K-2 offers twenty-five engaging games and puzzles which have all been field-tested in diverse classrooms. Additionally the materials for each game and puzzle have been streamlined, making preparing for and managing game and puzzle play even easier.

Each game or puzzle contains:

● Short 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

● Classroom vignettes and tips that model how to introduce the featured game or puzzle

● Exit card choices and student work examples that make real-time assessment a meaningful part of teaching with games and puzzles

New full-sized appendices of all game boards, puzzles and other materials make preparing for play an easy task. A built-in study guide at the end of each chapter makes this book an ideal choice for book studies and collaborative teacher learning.

Well Played, Grades K-2 will help you tap the power of games and puzzles to engage students in sustained and productive mathematical thinking.
