What is a Game?
Is Math like a Game?




Goals? Yes Rules? Yes
Feedback system? Eventually…
Voluntary participation? Are you kidding me?
What are we missing?




Engagement and Motivation!

Raph Koster – A Theory of Fun
Flow
Learning within Flow

 Optimal Learning comes from Desirable Difficulty
 Students should be making errors if we want to
  optimize learning
 Normally very uncomfortable




This is natural when playing games!
Digital Games provide…

• Instant and non-threatening feedback
• Mentally Demanding
• Customized learning through leveling,
  challenge, and game mechanics


  Hard Fun!
Fun is the Feeling we get from learning in Flow

Why Digital Games for Math?




        Image from www.bigfishgmes.com blog
Games can help the diverse learners in our classrooms by



   Individualized and targeted instruction

   Remediation

   Optimized learning with Flow
Many math skills fit this model.
Experience
Hypothesize

Feedback loop helps students construct understanding of the rules.
We crave patterns and we want to fit our experiences into a schema.
Formalize and Practice

• We can help students formalize
  what they are experiencing.
• Games can also be used to
  practice the skills.

Ultimately what is our goal?

• Deep procedural understanding
• Deep conceptual understanding
Digital games can help students learn and practice
math in a fun and natural way!
