Using Math Games to Affirm and Develop Student Brilliance

Playing games in math class can be more than just “fun”! Games provide opportunities to enhance access to content, delve deep into mathematical ideas and strategies, and affirm students’ mathematical identities. This session will explore several adaptable “low prep, high leverage” games that work across many grade levels, K-8 and beyond. We will discuss characteristics of high leverage games, and how our facilitation moves can support equitable teaching practices.
