Card Games
Card games are a fun and easy way to develop student mathematical thinking and reasoning. Starting with identifying sequences and quantities and moving to place value, patterns and number combinations. Card games also give students a chance to explore mathematics through play and work on social skills as they interact with their peers. The options are endless and cards are inexpensive...have fun!

Strategy Development
Strategies naturally build on each other
Students develop new strategies a little at a time as they solve problems
Allowing students to explain their strategy, in their own way, supports learning
Supporting students to detail their strategies supports their learning (can you tell me where the 5 came from?)
Almost always a strategy that is “wrong” (not working for the problem posed) has powerful mathematics embedded in it.
Teacher's Role
Teacher's Role
Supporting participation
Understanding the task
Helping students see that they can get started
Helping students see they have a strategy
Helping students work together
Supporting mathematical understanding
All of the above
In the moment questions about what they are thinking or providing a starting point without doing it for them
Keeping the games fun and joyful
Keep the task from becoming like typical school math tasks
