Spent captures interest and attention with Montessori's point of interest, self-correction and continuous learning w/each play.
A 7th grader in Quincy, MA, explained to his math teacher why playing the game more than once was so important. He said, "This game is going to teach me how to be an adult!"
Kids and adults LEARN from game play that is interesting to them and contains Montessori's Principles. They experience learning in the Flow Zone. The next video shows students learning math playing online games--Motion Math is a favorite of theirs.
View Motion Math in the ClassroomMath games, board games, computer games, sports and dance, are ways to teach students math procedures and concepts.
Sports, dance, interactive resources, games must NOT over-emphasize procedural facts instead of conceptual learning or students will STOP learning from BOREDOM, FRUSTRATION, OR DISINTEREST.4. Which of Montessori's Principles do you see in the games in Motion Math?
Point of Interest-- something inviting draws the learner's focus and attention to the experience
Self Correcting Feedback-- the materials offer self-correcting information
Continuous Learning-- every experience playing a game or creating or making, increases learners' knowledge, skills, understanding

5. Throughout K-12, did you play online games or use a gaming system in math classes to learn math?
If so, 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.
What games and toys are for young children to use and call their own? How do toys influence beliefs?

6. Bullet 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?

BIG IDEA Closer Mindsets--How do we change ours to help us learn?9. Applying your knowledge about factors that produce growth and fixed mindsets, analyze in a few sentences the mindset you have about learning mathematics. How did you get this mindset?
10. DO YOU THINK having choices of multimodal resources to learn with as you did in this assignment-- using stop motion animation video production, playing Spent, and learning math with game play would positively help you to enjoy learning math?
