Recreational mathematics in education

Recreational Mathematics and its History: In memory of David Singmaster, British Society for the History of Mathematics, London (21/09/2024).

Abstract:
At a meeting of the Undergraduate Mathematics Teaching Conference (UMTC) in 1999, David Singmaster gave a talk and hosted a working group on 'Teaching Mathematical Concepts Using Puzzles and Games'. This talk will outline work in this area, including the implementation of these ideas in an undergraduate module on 'Game Theory and Recreational Mathematics'.
