Designing Provocative Objects for Mathematical Play

• In Event: 34.058 - Design of Innovative and Active Learning Environments

Abstract

In this proposal, I share a synthesized framework that incorporates mathematics education with game design principles. This framework was used to design a videogame that supported mathematical play with fractions, and I share excerpts of middle school students playing the game to validate the synthesized framework.
