An article in Education Week on using board games in the classroom to strengthen the mathematics skills of children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, quotes Douglas H. Clements, professor of learning and instruction, who said, "There's a huge amount of math in these board games and card games that is not on television and video games. Even if you played once or twice a week, it would probably have a read effect on kids."
