"Math Around The World places mathematics in a multicultural and international context -- presenting eight games from four different continents -- NIM, Kalah, Tower of Hanoi, Game Sticks, Magic Squares, Shongo Networks, Games of Alignment, and Hex. The complete step-by-step instructions outline ways to introduce the games and provide detailed classroom suggestions to help students to discover and articulate the major mathematical concepts in each game. This teacher's guide also includes suggestions for ways to explore related geography and history and to broaden student awareness of the contributions of diverse world cultures to mathematics.
