Participant motivation to engage in these activities can also be enhanced by providing students with an opportunity to help generate the solutions to tactical problems that exist within net/wall games and have input into game creation. The principles provide a framework of tactical solutions that range from simple to complex (i.e., tactical complexity) and promote understanding of these solutions through creating games that exaggerate their importance and relevance in game settings.

If tactics don't matter and a game is all about pure physical skill, it can become rather boring. The tactical dynamic, especially between players, can lead to unexpected outcomes as a result of player innovation. Furthermore, giving players an opportunity to contribute to creating solutions to problems that are tactical in net/wall games can contribute to enhancing player engagement.

We considered a number of methods for measuring similarity between countries with respect to their mathematics attainment. A simple comparison of scale scores over time was rejected as this would limit the investigation to asking how much respondents from a country know on a given topic. Instead, we chose an item-level analysis that allows for a closer examination of what respondents in a given country know and how this compares to other countries.

We came up with several methods for assessing how closely related two classes were with regards to their reading ability. A straightforward contrasting of test scores was deemed unacceptable since this would make it challenging to determine what reading strengths students from a specific class had. We decided, instead, to focus on answers to specific test questions to be able to see how students in a particular class stacked up against other classes with respect to the particular test question.

Pei is popularly known for the controversy surrounding his Grand Louvre Pyramid (1988), constructed in the courtyard of the Louvre (fig. 25.21). The Pyramid deliberately turns the tradition and concept of pyramid inside out. A pyramid is supposed to be solid, dark, and solitary--a mesmerizing symbol of the exotic world beyond the streets and cultures of Europe.

One of the great wonders of the world are the pyramids of Egypt. These pyramids have become a mesmerizing symbol of the exotic world beyond the streets and cultures of Europe and the embodiment of associations with the pyramid shape which is supposed to be "solid, dark, and solitary" (Arnason, 2003, p. 667)
