@MrHonner@ColinTGraham I've always found competition to be an energizer, but I always like to eventually move it to collaboration. #mathchat

@ColinTGraham@delta_dc @MrHonner If we take approximating as getting closer to something... then the play becomes more focused... less playful? #mathchat

@cherrylkd@natfantastic @colintgraham #mathchat wish more did that. I was put off by strict teachers in secondary despite being successful

@delta_dc Fluency does not necessarily mean the end of play >> @ColinTGraham: As the play becomes more focused... less playful? #mathchat

@ColinTGraham@natfantastic @cherrylkd A 'closed' assignment usually has 'an answer'. Play or open-ended tasks stop when you want to #Mathchat

@mathhombre #mathchat Variety is an essential part of play. It takes an obsessive type Mon Jun 06 20:28:52 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77834359809388544 - #194


to play the same kind of thing all the time.


@natfantastic@cherrylkd @colintgraham #mathchat Me too. Maths was very elitist at my secondary. Uni showed me that everything can be linked to maths!

@ColinTGraham@delta_dc The nature of the play changes though, if you start to direct or impose structure on what you are doing... #mathchat

@ColinTGraham@natfantastic @cherrylkd It's not a case of "can be linked" everything *is* linked to mathematics in some way... ;-) #mathchat

@AshleyWalther@ColinTGraham i love using competition but in small doses otherwise some students give up...team competition is best imo #mathchat


Mon Jun 06 20:30:56 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77834880255410176 - #199 @delta_dc @ColinTGraham I don't disagree. Some coaches take all the fun out of sports. But structured play can still be play. #Mathchat Monday, 6th June 2011How do I promote deep, productive and creative mathematical play? (follow-up discussion)
