Digital Game

Making maths more accessible using Game-based learning to create
a more inclusive and less stressful environment in the learning of maths

Impact

  • Prevent math anxiety

    The MathifyMe game is an online tool designed to support the teaching of maths at primary and middle school levels. By incorporating diverse teaching approaches, it meets students’ needs and has the potential to prevent maths anxiety, according to research.

  • Positive impact

    The project positively impacts all partner organisations by integrating the game and its findings into their curriculum and teacher training programs.

  • Global Network

    International use of the game facilitates the widespread dissemination of knowledge related to maths anxiety, the game itself, and professional development through global networks.

Goals

Develop and test the MathifyMe Digital Game, and support its implementation in schools. The game will be customizable, allowing teachers to embed their input, and include learning analytics to provide insights into students’ performance. It will also meet specific requirements identified in the WP 2 needs analysis.

WP’s Specific Objectives (SO):

  1. SO3.1: Co-create, test, and improve the MathifyMe Digital Game based on the needs analysis results.

  2. SO3.2: Provide resources to facilitate and support the implementation of the MathifyMe Digital Game in schools.
