Life-oriented Math Game Design

Published: 05 May 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Learning mathematical knowledge from life experiences and solving practical problems independently can help students understand the significance and necessity of math in the process of independent exploration, cooperation, and exchanges. Further, they can understand and grasp fundamental life mathematical knowledge, skills, mathematical ideas, and methods and obtain extensive experience in mathematical activities. This study designed a game system to learn life-oriented math with Visual studio and Canva. Through activity designs and teaching-aid instruments, the life-oriented math games enable learners to experience the true essence of math from games in virtual life and enrich the meaning of life in the mathematical application. The game system for learning life-oriented math allows teachers and students to interact, learn, and discuss, forming a picture of learning together by discussing mathematical problems in the context of life experience.
