ABSTRACT

To prepare the materials for this unit, for example, Kathie and Richard spent spring break together creating, writing, and trying the games. They also spent time working with Bob Lipsinki, a colleague of Richard's, who teaches 6th grade mathematics, to prepare for Kathie's teaching of the lessons in Bob's dass. Bob' s dass consists of students showing poor achievement levels on mathematics exams and having low motivation toward learning mathematics. These students are required to take a double period of mathematics to allow time for thorough review of concepts.
