The game of "Sprouts" is explained, then several theorems concerning the game are stated and proved. (DT)

This article deals with the basic techniques of teaching entire classes to cooperatively develop simulation games. The first section presents a model which serves as a nucleus for developing the instructional strategies in the second section. (Author/KM)

This article describes a program for developing pre- and in-service teachers abilities to anticipate or predict educationally relevant responses of handicapped children through the use of anticipation games which provide simulation of teacher-pupil interactions in classroom situations. (JA)

In professional training of librarians, mathematical modeling can be useful in relatively sophisticated library management games if the models simulate the provision and use of library services. (33 references) (MM)

A model involving: (1) identification of objectives; (2) identification of the significant parts of a game; (3) selection and use of evaluation criteria for each part; (4) analysis of the interrelation of the parts. (SE)

Sees motives of cooperation and noncooperation as a function of the game's reward system and infers that the same motives may operate in real-life situations. Bibliography, tables, and graphs. (RW)

Argues that in teaching standard English to groups which, like Eskimos and speakers of Hawaiian Pidgin, are quite removed from mainstream American culture, role playing, as natural human behavior, can provide the bridge between classroom drill and real-life utilization of new language patterns.
