Make math fun? Turn to games

After Pasco County’s Bayonet Point Middle School lost its A rating because of falling math scores, principal Mike Asbell gave his teachers a mission. Now kids race to complete math problems in order to finish a puzzle. And there are matching games, memory games and games that force students to work out word problems. “It’s not fun to do stuff just to do it,” said sixth-grader Vaibhav Gandhi. “Would you rather do your math homework, or do your math homework on the computer playing games? It’s something you want to do."
