Masek, M.; Boston, J.; Lam, C. P.; Corcoran, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
Concepts from the Australian mathematics curriculum on fractions were used as core elements to design three computer games. In each game, the concepts were presented in the form of tangible puzzles, customized to a difficulty level based on student capability. The games were integrated into a single virtual game world, and a fantasy story was used…
