Hi all,<\/p>\n

In last week’s post, we talked about our ideas briefly. This week, we conducted a playtest at Twin Rivers with our draft prototype.<\/p>\n

\"proto001\"<\/p>\n

As the above picture shows, it is a prototype of the number-line I mentioned in last blog. With the notches on the line, students are supposed to pick a fraction between 0 and 1. In this way, students are expected to reinforce what they have learned in class.<\/p>\n

In terms of the selecting and choosing game, we used the green circles for test this time. They will divide into 2 to 4 parts evenly, and students then can understand the concept of fraction in an engaging way – fractions are coming from a whole circle.<\/p>\n

To make it more convenient for teachers to test on their own pc, we have also created a “click version” \u00a0 so that teachers can use mouse and keyboard playing on their own computer. In this way, they can experience it more and provide more advice.<\/p>\n
