Computer Games Teach Problem-Solving.

Clayson, James

Impact of Science on Society, v32 n4 p435-47 Oct-Dec 1982

The difficulty many students have in solving complex problems stems not from a lack of mathematical skill but from an inability to visualize the problem. An appropriately-structured computer game may assist students in achieving this visualization and in solving problems better. A heuristic approach in programing one game is provided. (Author/JN)
