Teaching approaches: Games

From OER in Education

Games can be a great way to engage pupils in active learning, and encourage them to use subject specific language while thinking like a mathematician/scientist. You could think about encouraging pupils to create their own games for some higher order reasoning, perhaps for a homework task. ICT Tools may be particularly helpful here, although you may chose to use non-digital Tools or ideas such as Digital Video.
