And you thought we were just playing games?!
Research has shown that without an investment in a training program, games such as those in the Mathematics Pentathlon can often be instructionally misused. Understanding strategy game rules through solitary reading is, for most people, a laborious task. For most, learning the Mathematics Pentathlon games requires some form of hands-on experience. To ensure effective implementation, teachers, coaches, parents and administrators need to receive instruction in the appropriate educational uses of these problem-solving games and activities. Trainings sponsored by the Pentathlon Institute guide educators and parents to a richer understanding of the Mathematics Pentathlon program, thereby enabling them to pass this knowledge on to their students.
