Subject: Engage in Math Parents Game Night Series: Educational Games for Kids
Have you ever thought that family game time and math homework could actually be the same thing?
For the first time, this year Dr. Sabinin is holding a series of Engage in Math Parents’ Game Nights. At these Games Nights, Dr. Sabinin will share some of the most impactful games, which can help kids build strong intuition about school mathematics. With this intuition, their engagement and grades in math class can improve dramatically.
Dr. Polina Sabinin is a mathematics educator in the Department of Mathematics at BSU. Specifically, her scholarship is in using games and puzzles to teach mathematics. For over a decade, she has trained teachers in grades 1 - 12 at all points in their careers. As part of her work she has built a library of almost 100 mathematical games, which she uses in courses and workshops for teachers.
Join us for a night of playing and learning! Register early! Registration ($25) is limited and includes a game, which you can take home to play with your kid(s). Please note, this is an event for the parents so no children under 12, please.
