Games with a 100% Win Strategy

This workshop will improve students’ number sense, or understanding of numbers and their manipulations. Number sense is a critical skill necessary for students in future advanced math topics. For example, number sense becomes essential in understanding terms in equations and solving them through logical computations.

We will develop students’ number sense through a series of “games” that have winning strategies. Students will learn that seemingly fair games have significant advantages to one player over another if they think through the game well.
