Well Played, K-2

Building mathematical thinking through number games and puzzles

Students love math games and puzzles, but how much are they really learning from the experience? Well Played shows you how to make games and puzzles an integral learning component that provides teachers with unique access to student thinking. The 25 field-tested games and puzzles offered in the book contain:

  • 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 and styles;
  • clear step-by-step directions; and
  • classroom vignettes that model how best to introduce the featured game or puzzle.

The book also includes a separate chapter with suggestions for how to effectively manage games and puzzles in diverse classrooms; reproducibles that provide directions, game boards, game cards, and puzzles; assessment ideas; and suggestions for online games, puzzles, and apps.

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