The basis of the teaching method is that problem-solving is more natural and accessible in a game environment. Children love to play and are motivated to search for a winning strategy. The course presents a number of exercises that have been tested in the classroom and refined accordingly. The emphasis is on innovative ways to teach problem-solving methods. The course derives from the Erasmus+ CHAMPS Project.
