Designing and Evaluating Effective Games for Teaching Science and Mathematics: An Illustration from Coordinate Geometry.

Pulos, Steven; Sneider, Cary

Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, v16 n3 p23-42 Sum 1994

Presents guidelines for developing and evaluating games in mathematics, including a concrete example--coordinate geometry taught by the Rubber Bones game--and its evaluation using (n=52) seventh graders. Guidelines for development include analysis of the concepts and the learner, nature of learning, enjoyability, integration, and evaluation. (48 references) (MKR)
