A proof-of-concept prototype for making math fun through gamification. The goal is to make the math itself the game. The key concepts are:

  • Goal oriented. Whereas math questions are usually posed as an equation requiring a solution, here it is flipped around, into a solution requiring an equation. The player is very clear about what they're trying to do.
  • Fast iteration, instant feedback. As the player attempts different equations, they get immediate feedback as to what the results are, encouraging experimentation and improving engagement.
  • Affordances. Equation components are presented as tiles that can be moved around (this can be improved with better graphics), so it works more like playing with building blocks or jigsaw puzzles, more intuitive than immaterial numbers and mathematical concepts.

Please excuse the rudimentary graphics and low production value. 

Should work with mouse control or touchscreen devices.
