If Montessori's Principles are parts of a game - point of interest, self-correction and continuous learning - kids and adults experience learning in the Flow Zone.
View 4. Do you see or hear about all three of Montessori's Principles assisting students' learning in Motion Math games?
Point of Interest-- something draws the learner's focus and attention to the experience
Self Correcting Feedback-- materials offer self-correcting information
Continuous Learning-- every play of a game increases learners' knowledge, skills and understanding
5. Throughout K-12 classes, did you play online games or use a gaming system in math classes to learn math?
If yes, how or why did the games keep you in a Flow Zone or out of the Flow Zone?
Researchers in psychology have been studying STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) and a marked gender gap phenomenon. Girls are less likely to major in these fields in college or enter them in the job market.A recent study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign suggests that "children can adopt beliefs from information they hear about their gender," through literature, television and media, toys, and conversations with adults.

6. List four initiatives to teaching and learning Harvey Mudd College instituted to attract women to the computer science program and keep them learning.
7. If you were expanding this program to attract and interest all kinds of students in computer science, mathematics and engineering design courses, what would you CREATE THAT IS NOT PRESENTLY THERE to add to Harvey Mudd's initiatives? (Consider what you learned about not having much money when playing Spent. The knowledge you gained may inspire your ideas about what to create to attract students.)

Angles Math Poem by Bob
Angles make my day
Guide my way
What do you say
Learn them where they lay.
Some angles are congruent
Find them and you are fluent
Some angles are supplemental
Note how they are assembled.
Learning angles is a tangle
Unless you live in a quadrangle
Angles cannot be cancelled
But they must be disentangled.
quad·ran·gle
-
a four-sided plane figure, especially a square or rectangle.
-
a square or rectangular space or courtyard enclosed by buildings.
By the end of elementary school students believe they are or aren't math people.

Qwirkle: Math Without Numbers
- Math is the least favorite of more than one-third of students, the highest unfavorable rating of any subject.
- 34 percent say math is least favorite in 2017 report What Teens What From Their Schools: A National Study of Student Engagement
- See chart from Grant Wiggins
- Math is only subject among all the least favorite choices in which the leading response was "I am bad at it!"
Today we are going to play a game of shapes and colors that promotes mathematical thinking and mathematical learning, both procedurally and conceptually.
It is called Qwirkle
- Used to teach math problem-solving skills
- Improve children's capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations
- Promotes visual-spatial reasoning
- Math concepts of sets with characteristics
Activities
-
Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks of six shapes and six colors.
- Briefly explain and demonstrate rules (procedures) for playing the game
- Use game from the previous group to show how rows are built and points are scored
- Create teams of 2 or 3
- Ask each team to create a team name
- Draw 6 blocks and begin game play
- 4th Grade Rules: Play as many blocks as you can during each turn
- Ask team players to call the points as they get them
Play Qwirkle Against the Computer with the Qwirkle APP
- Qwirkle App from the App Store
What is the procedural and conceptual learning in the game?

Khan's original intent for creating his tutoring site completely changed when users he had not planned for found the videos.
Summarize Khan's initial intent for his videos and compare that to what Khan Academy is now.
Would you conclude that this change resulted because of a mistake, having a growth mindset,creating a change of purpose or something else entirely?
