From the beginning of Judd's article to the end of Judd's article there was a strong message regarding the use of technology and the many ways that technology uses can make learning fun for all. These games could be presented in many different ways to meet a students learning ability. All of the games presented in the article can be completed in less than five minutes and could be done on almost all basic calculators. These games teach students the basics of mathematics along with calculator functions. The relevancy to mathematics is that these games will teach students place value concepts including decimals, counting, and addition. These games seem like they would be a quick fix for a student that has finished his/her work before the rest of the students. A direct quote from Judd stated, "The Mathematics requirements for all of the games are minimal" (Judd, 2007). I look at that statement and see that all students could learn from these games and take advantage of their engaging qualities.
