Directions are given for a game providing practice with multiplication combinations and for a game involving counting and number combinations. (DT)

This paper describes an experiment involving the use of laboratory education (Bradford, Gibb, & Benne, 1964; Bennis & Schein, 1965) and was designed on the assumption that improvement of communication in managerial workgroups enhances task effectiveness. (Author)

Paper presented at the workshop on "The Utilization of Games in the Ego and Educational Development of Children, (National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland, May 25-26, 1967).

Provides a detailed description of Lemonade, a business game designed to introduce elementary and secondary students to the basics of business; i.e., problem solving strategies, hypothesis formulation and testing, trend analysis, prediction, comparative analysis, and effects of such factors as advertising and climatic conditions on sales and…

Activities noted cover: (a) Observation; (b) Classification; (c) Ordering; (d) Patterning; (e) Prenumber Concepts; and (f) Early Number Concepts. The variety of activities that can be done with buttons is seen as endless. Instructors are expected to be able to extend and adapt the material for individual classroom needs once they observe their…

Ideas are presented to help teachers bring some excitement into their classes and help children view mathematics as an enjoyable learning experience. It is felt that the introduction of the activities can help transform mathematics classes into true learning centers, lessen mathematics anxiety, and encourage increased student involvement. (MP)

Games are promoted as useful tools that can become an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Advantages to students and teachers are noted. Guidelines for the construction of games are provided and ways of incorporating games into a mathematics program are discussed. Active child involvement is seen as fundamental. (MP)

Describes a study to determine the existence and extent of differences in the ways men and women perceive simulation exercises. From the data presented, it is concluded that there do seem to be important sex-based differences. Sixteen references are listed. (LLS)

Three basic game types are identified and described (formation, chase, and elimination). Examples are given of each of these types, as well as a chase-elimination game and a formation-elimination game. The ultimate game is viewed to be one which would combine all three strategies. (MP)

Educational activities based on easily constructed peg games are detailed, along with advice on how they can be constructed. The activities are designed to guide students to collect and organize data; recognize, extend, and generalize patterns; and develop problem-solving strategies. (MP)

The success pupils experience with the computer allows them to attempt mastery of skills previously rejected, and to attempt understanding of concepts previously thought too difficult. (MP)

A card game designed to help high school students drill basic arithmetic operations in general mathematics classes is presented. Activity sheets suitable for reproduction are included. (MP)

The frequency with which games must be used in order to help students maintain multiplication skills is the subject of this study. (MP)
