Who Can Benefit From Math Word Games?
Obviously, much of this material is geared towards younger students who are coming to the subject of geometry for the first time. However, older ESL students can also make use of many of these ideas. While these students will likely know the concepts of geometry from their studies in their native language, these games can help them with their learning of the equivalent English terminology. Depending on the age group, some of these activities may need to be modified to keep the students engaged and to prevent them from feeling like they are spending their time doing “kids stuff.” With a little preparation, however, older ESL students can have the same fun and educational experience with geometry word games as younger students.
