Book excerpt: Students love maths games and puzzles, but how much are they really learning from the experience? Too often, such games are thought of as just a fun activity or enrichment opportunity. This resource shows you how to make games and puzzles an integral learning component that provides a unique access to student thinking. The 25 games and puzzles, which have all been field-tested in diverse classrooms, contain: explanations of the mathematical importance of each activity 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.
