The Validity of Math Games

Abstract

This study examines the validity of math games in math classes from elementary school to high school. A math game could be a viable alternative learning format that differs from traditional math exercises. Six experimenters conducted tests to see if math games compare to traditional math exercises. The experimenters' methods and results were analyzed and discussed in the context of these three factors, setting, medium, and age-demographic. The results show that math games are valid and will provide excellent results in a traditional classroom through a digital application with a younger player-base. From these results, we can conclude that a math game is valid and should be part of a teaching curriculum.
