“There are three types of activities all children should experience during math class: Routines, Contextual Problems, and Games. Games are one of the best ways to practice math concepts and Well Played is one of the BEST resources for those games. I've had the first edition of this book for years and am excited for educators to get this updated version.” Christina Tondevold, The Recovering Traditionalist & Founder of Build Math Minds ""This book is filled with math games that promote both inclusion and differentiation. The games are easy to learn, allowing the focus to remain on the math itself. With multiple levels and adaptable rules, these games will keep kids engaged and eager to play again and again."" Tara Trudo, All Learner's Network

The authors cover everything from organizing materials, introducing games, creating groups, and making directions accessible to build productive struggle and increase students’ mathematical knowledge. The games can easily be incorporated into regular math class stations, math menus, or as a part of math intervention.” -Melanie King, Math Interventionist, Vergennes Union Elementary School, VT “As a hands-on teacher, I can't speak highly enough of this book. The games can be easily implemented by both first-year and veteran teachers. It is well-structured, allowing use in whole-group or small-group settings and provides ample opportunities for students to demonstrate and discuss their understanding. These games and puzzles allow students to embed K-2 math strategies into their long-term memory while making learning fun!” -Kristin Canale, Second Grade Teacher, Litchfield Elementary School, AZ
