Description
Why is it that kids love video games and are quickly engaged, willing to persevere, and excited to learn new strategies? How do we take that knowledge and apply it to math class so that students love learning and won't give up so easily?
That's what this mini workshop is all about. We'll begin by discussing why video games are so addicting and what we can learn from them. Then we'll explore how to apply those principles to make math class feel like a game. Next we'll talk about applying what we've learned including launching engaging math tasks and rapidly transforming boring exercises into exciting rich tasks. Finally, we'll talk about how to create tasks where kids don’t want to give up and when these tasks should be used.
