"Children like to think in terms
of what they know. Most know and love
games.
I believe I did
best when I taught math as a
game-like subject.
In many
respects it is just like a game. There
are definitions to learn and rules to follow.
How well you do depends on knowing definitions, rules, and the many
facts that make one quicker at the game.
Like many games, speed is important,but second to accuracy."
