Using Catan as a Vehicle for Engaging Students in Mathematical Sense-Making
Page: 1738
Catan is an increasingly popular board game which is rich with opportunities for mathematical applications. The research presented in this poster demonstrates how Catan served as an effective vehicle for engaging students enrolled in a freshman learning community. Students engaged with various mathematical concepts involving probability, combinatorics, and game theory.
