What Kind of Game is Algebra?

Setting up games in the classroom can be time consuming in terms of preparation of equipment but with this collection of more than 50 photocopiable algebra games much of the preparation is already done. By playing games pupils can be introduced to new, and sometimes quite hard, concepts in ways that are fun and thought provoking. Games encourage pupils to work collaboratively as they seek solutions and they will very often work above their normal level because of the relaxed atmosphere in which games are played.

The games are suitable for a whole class and collaborative groups, where the pupils work in pairs and they are suitable for use with pupils from Year 6 upwards. The structure of some games will be familiar but they have been given a new twist so that they engage the players with working mentally in an interesting and challenging way.
