The Mathematics of SET
Description
Mathematics is a useful tool to analyze games and puzzles, and, conversely, puzzles and games can be used to explore new mathematical concepts. In this course, students learn how to play the SET game, explore mathematical ideas and questions related to SET, and discover the mathematics by working through investigations in small teams. This process enables students to enhance their reasoning, collaborative, and communication skills as well as experience the power of figuring out things on their own.
