an embodied learning fraction game

FEATURES

What makes our game unique

Embodied learning

All scenarios are designed so that students move their corporal bodies and use multiple senses. We attempt to engage modalities that are typically not stimulated during regular instruction. For example, while the fraction is occurring the image on the floor shows the animation of splitting and probably engages the vestibular system.

competition

This game is a competition for 2 teams, and the faster team go through all the levels will be the winner. In the end, candy fireworks will show up as the prize for winners. However, the other team can still continue playing until they finish all the levels so that fireworks can be more fantastic.

collaboration

All students in the class are engaged in tasks and play a role. Because they have responsibility, even as helpers on the sidelines when not in the space, they stay attuned. These game-style Communities of Practice are powerful predictors of learning and aid in leading users on the pathway to expertise.

Novelty

Research has indicated that novelty (and the perception of novelty) is extremely important for learning information and maintaining attention. Giving students opportunities to experience content in a novel manner turns on the limbic rewards system.
