A mathematical game is an activity that engages children for amusement or fun. It should be a part of the mathematics classroom as it will be a child-centered and happy classroom where children get opportunities to observe, explore and share experiences.

Key Points

 Characteristics of mathematical games-

  • Mathematical games must not be confused with open-ended play and there is a set of rules that governs decision making. The rules should be based on mathematical ideas and the game should end when the goal is reached.
  • Mathematical games provide non- didactic feedback to the children be the minimum amount of teacher intervention.
  • Mathematical games promote processes of anticipation and planning in children which help them stimulate interest in a topic and develop mathematical skills.

Hence, we conclude that the correct statements are (b) and (c).
