He noted that puzzles and games provide rich experiences for students to think critically, solve problems, and build social relationships. They can help students contextualize math and make it more engaging.
The PhD candidate at the Virginia Tech spoke of collaboration and involvement of parents and peers as crucial in making math learning fun and effective. He added that teachers can collaborate with other subjects’ teachers and professionals to create meaningful connections between math and real-life contexts.
Teachers were also admonished to connect math to real-world applications, students’ career aspirations, and social justice issues.
