Math Education Game for primary school

摘要

The purpose of this research is to present a math education game as an alternative teaching method for students studying mathematics. The game is set to be released on personal computers (PC). The art of the game is set as 2D cartoon art. There will be 4 teaching methods that will help students learn mathematics in the game in the form of mini games. Each of these methods is the result of a previous research on math education for children. To date, the current development only covers 2 of 4 mini games. Questionnaire, literature study, and expert opinions are used as the data collection method. The Object Oriented approach, particularly the Inheritance Concept is used as the programming method. At the moment, a prototype education game code named Binus Math Education Game (B-Meg) is ready to be deployed. This particular education game is expected to provide an alternative and more innovative teaching method for mathematics in elementary school, or better, replace the existing conventional teaching method.
