These Chess kits will enable us to invite students into our classroom three times a week and teach them the mathematics and strategies behind Chess! We will encourage problem solving skills and backwards mapping in order for students to think ahead and on their feet. The problem solving strategies students gain from Chess directly correlates to how they relate to problems at home, school, and their community around them. Studies have shown that students who engage in Chess are more likely to deal with conflicts in a peaceful and thoughtful manner, working with others to find a solution (in a quick and non-violent way). Students will work together and eventually teach each other what they have learned. The Chess sets are a key component in teaching Chess because we can talk about the pieces, but the world opens up when they begin to make their own synapses fire!
