Developing Mathematics Proficiencies through Game Theory
Eskelson, Samuel L.; Miller, Catherine M.; Shaw, Doug J.
Australian Mathematics Education Journal, v4 n3 p34-38 2022
In this article, the authors present variants to the classic problem the Prisoner's Dilemma. They discuss how senior secondary school students can use these variations to explore basic game theory concepts and develop mathematical proficiencies and practices. They also suggest how students can apply these concepts to decision-making processes in their own lives as well as to investigating larger societal issues.
