SCI DaMath

In the Philippines, most teachers encountered teaching problems in terms of mathematics and science using the traditional methods of teaching. In line with the said problem, a teacher from Sorsogon, Philippines whose name is Jesus L. Huenda invented a board game called Damath and Sci-Dama.

Damath game is a combination of dama and math while in Sci-dama game it is combination of science, math and dama. These games is a logical, strategic and arithmetic game. The purpose of these games is to explore, firm-up, deepen, and transfer the daily tasks of the concepts of real numbers and to its properties and operations.

The game is designed for 2 players and scorer, who jot down the score. The board is similar to a checkerboard but with a twist. All white tiles on the board have a mathematical symbol which dictates the operation that will be used when a player's piece captures the opponent's piece. It has numbers labeled 0-7 on its sides to determine the coordinates of the piece
