Foster deep learning by having your students play and analyze games. Dr. Heidenreich will share his experiences of teaching “Math of Games for Liberal Arts Majors” over the past seven years.
Long Description:
Dr. Heidenreich developed a ‘Math for Liberal Arts Majors’ class based on analyzing games. In this talk, he will describe how the class is designed to foster deep, embodied learning of mathematical thinking using a combination of ‘teaching’ games designed to illustrate principles in statistics, as well as ‘real’ games like King of Tokyo, Settlers of Catan, and Magic: the Gathering. He will also reflect on how the class has grown in the seven years he’s taught it.
