Abstract

Since the use of simulation games in social studies classes recently became quite widespread, I have searched for such a teaching aid that could be of value in a mathematics class—in particular a second-year course in general mathematics.

The results of my experiment indicated that far more desirable outcomes occurred than had been anticipated. The purpose of this article is to relate these outcomes and indicate some waye in which they might be expanded.
