Lure of the Labyrinth is a digital game for middle-school pre-algebra students. It includes a wealth of intriguing math-based puzzles wrapped into an exciting narrative game in which students work to find their lost pet - and save the world from monsters! Linked to both national and state mathematics standards, the game gives students a chance to actually think like mathematicians.
Interesting but long article describing the mathematical skills of Amazonian tribes people. Their understanding of maths is very similar to kindergarten and Year 1 students.
Hi Harvey,
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a middle school language arts teacher and I was able to find the SMART exchange page from you posting. I am pioneering with a SMART board on wheels in my classroom with minimal support so this is great.
Excellent summary of the realities of teaching a subject like mathematics or physics, with some tips on how to overcome the hurdles. Equally applies to CS.
