description

This paper is about a mini-course that we developed to train teachers, how to teach basic mathematic concepts to their students by relating those concepts to a popular game like "Candy Crush". In order to facilitate this process, we used GeoGebra, a free and open source application that is frequently used for teaching mathematics. The Mini-Course is being delivered through a WordPress platform. This idea may be extended, afterwards, to other mathematical concepts and other games.
