Unlocking the Hidden Mathematics in Video Games

About This Webinar

What can IPhone games teach us about economics? What can LittleBigPlanet teach us about reforming our voting systems? What can The Sims teach us about our relationships?

When you're playing games, mathematics probably isn't the first thing on your mind. But there's rich mathematical thinking in many of the most popular games games, even those that aren't explicitly billed as educational. In this talk, we'll play some games, learn about some others, and explore examples of mathematics in games that don't typically come to mind when thinking about education.

Global Math Department webinar platform hosts Unlocking the Hidden Mathematics in Video Games
The Global Math Department began as a group of teachers who knew each other through Twitter, math education blogs and Twitter Math Camp. Since 2012 The Global Math Department community has grown into a multi-faceted group of math educators who love to share their ideas related to teaching and learning mathematics. We recognize that as educators we are charged with promoting equity and access within mathematics instruction. In addition, we believe it is crucial that teachers be provided with quality resources and ideas that they can use immediately with their students. Lively and friendly conversations in our weekly webinars encourage all participants to share and continue to grow as educators.
