Description

Two classroom interventions were implemented with 3rd-grade classes in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The first was "a school program which involved daily routines in mathematics (1-Sudoku, 2-chess, 3- find an intruder in a group of objects, 4- match replacing, 5- solving adaptation of Raven's matrices)" lasting two months (N=48). The second had children "play mathematical games two hours per week (N = 33)" for two months; a control group (N=38) received no particular intervention.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Daily scheduling of the logic-challenge routines, or two hours per week of mathematical board games, sustained over two months.

Constraints

  • The study participants were from the largest city in Abitibi-Témiscamingue; no rural students were involved, limiting generalization.

Target Learners

  • 3rd-grade primary school students

Learning Goals

  • mathematical problem solving
  • school motivation
