Aim of the course -

Games in the matematical education (games, puzzle and other problems): the ability to analyze games, include them in teaching and modificate or create new games.

Descriptors -

direct teaching 24 hours; games in home preparation - gaining game experience 40 h; Support - texts in English assigned at each seminar.

Self-study in the range of 50 hours and game experience in pairs with students/pupils at school as needed, 20-25 hours, writing up experiences, analysis of games 15 hours, preparation of selected game and presentation and defense 25 hours

Course completion requirements -

90% active presence (maximum 1 absence, because in direct work discussion develops and deepens thinking and relevant vocabulary);  a written analysis of the given game from different points of view (see study text) and a presentation (PowerPoint) of the analysis of the assigned game and a new game with the same didactic material - defense, discussion.
