Introduce a New Game


Encourage social and competitive games that uplift learning math in a creative way like our YPP scholar-designed games:  Roll that Fraction, Algenopoly, Road Coloring Problem, Pi Play, and Piece of Pi(e).  And don't forget Flagway!  They were a hit at many of our YPP Math gatherings!
