Efficiency of Didactic Games in Calculus Classrooms
Didactic games can be a useful tool that, when coupled with traditional lecture, allows the student to become immersed in the subject, creating a kinetic and energetic environment that will not only help learning, but spark interest in the subject as a whole. However, there are two problems that we consider in this project: 1. What are the most effective games and its assessment methods that could be incorporated into the Calculus classroom? 2. How to develop an on-line interactive game designed to teach the tenets of calculus through story-telling, problem solving, and self-motivation which can expand a set of existing didactic games.
