Should games be played before, during, or after instruction. Apparently they should be played as advance organizers, whatever the heck that means

advance organizer

few teachers actually use games for teaching, most just use it as a break or a reward

some interesting papers here on educational sequencing.

PLF

studied 11 year olds on a game that taught algebraic properties and single variable linear equations

used a game called DragonBox Algebra

Honestly, take this paper and actually try to understand the stats of it all. Jesus

Using a game as an advance organizer allowed players to ground their understanding and gave the instructor things to refer back to.
