Summary
Gamifying maths can lead to quick turnaround times on maths problems, higher scores in examinations and boosted confidence in a young learner.
What if developing a solid foundation in maths was as simple as engaging in virtual brain-teasers, riddles, puzzles and games? Making numbers fun to do through gamification can go a long way in building a positive attitude towards mathematics.
Education, in general, and maths, specifically, can benefit from the application and integration of games into the classroom setting as it develops interest, boosts learning motivation through rewards and adds an element of joy to academic challenges.
Pedagogical approaches to maths in the classrooms must allow discussions, normalise not getting the right answer, and avoid time-pressure situations, so students can practise maths without apprehension and fear of failure.
Games and scenarios allow students to build maths excellence through playful exploration and hands-on discovery.
Imagine learning multiplication through Lego bricks It is possible to turn maths into an exciting playful intellectual journey.
Why not? It's easier to learn concepts of perimeter, area and circumference while trying to build a simulated "Model house", than through rote learning of maths formulas and facts.
