Friday 20 February 2026·5:20 pm

Surface-level knowledge gives students the terminology—but true understanding happens when they apply it in meaningful ways. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how math games can move students beyond worksheets and into rich problem-solving experiences. You’ll try out a variety of ready-to-use games—from Classroom Ready Alberta Dynamic Math, CPAR, and other great resources—that help students connect concepts and deepen their thinking. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to play, learn, and take fresh ideas back to your classroom. Join the fun!
