TTRPGkids on Ludology Podcast, Episode 17: Using TTRPGs to teach math!
Ludology podcast is a discussion-based show about the hows and whys of tabletop games! They have longer form episodes every other week, and, on one of the off weeks each month, we have the TTRPGkids show! These shorter episodes will cover topics that are focused on tabletop RPGs for kids and youth, and I’m excited to share the link to the 16th episode here!
From puzzles to unique mechanics adjustments to incentivising running calculations… these are excellent tools for teaching applied mathematics, and I hope you can use this episode to find some clever ways to incorporate more maths into your games! Below the episode link, also check out some of my additional resources to go over during or after you give the episode a listen!
