Hello World!
Team SmAll is looking into helping primary school students understand the concept of fractions better through an interactive way. Frequently, students from 3rd – 5th grades struggle with fractions, both concept and calculation.
The games that already exist are often too hard or too simple. Team SmAll is creating an interactive game for seven school districts in Western Pennsylvania including urban (Pittsburgh) and rural (Elizabeth Forward) districts to be used in their SMALLabs. The game will be used by students to introduce and reinforce learning and calculating fractions.
The goal is to not only enhance their learning performance through games, but also help them to overcome the struggle of understanding fractions in fun and engaging embodied learning environments. Team SmAll seeks to enhance interest in fractions and knowledge acquisition through technology.
