Each 40-minute lesson plan includes an NCSS theme, materials and sources, procedure, and evaluation.

A separate chapter teaches the chess basics necessary for your students to actually play chess and successfully complete the optional exercises.

"The concept is clever. . . An exercise based on Benjamin Franklin's 'morals of chess,' a list of golden rules to be observed while playing the game, is also fascinating, as are studies of famous chess players and foreign chess terms." - Arches
