Peer reviewedGinat, David – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2001
Presents an approach for illustrating, on an intuitive level, the significance of loop invariants for algorithm design and analysis. The illustration is based on mathematical games that require the exploration of regularities via problem-solving heuristics. (Author/MM)

Peer reviewedThiagarajan, Sivasailam; Pasigna, Aida L. – Simulation and Games, 1985
Describes basic structure of a framegame, Chain Gang, in which self-instructional modules teach a cognitive skill. Procedures are presented for loading new content into the game's basic framework to teach algorithms or heuristics and for game modification to suit different situations. Handouts used in the basic game are appended. (MBR)
