Teachers may view games as opportunities for practice rather than promoting mathematical reasoning. In this session, participants will (a) engage in hands-on activities such as What’s My Rule, Attribute Trains, and Geometry Battleship and (b) discuss how games can be used to explore higher-order thinking with geometric patterns and structure.
