Educational Math Game for Stimulation of Children with Dyscalculia

摘要

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disorder, reflected in an arithmetic capacity below the expected on individuals of similar chronological age, IQ and schooling. In order to improve these abilities, several studies agree that didactic strategies with play activities help to improve the difficulties of learning to count, to do basic mathematical calculations, to define groups of objects and in spatial thinking. From this context, the objective is to develop an educational game for children suffering from dyscalculia, available to the public on the Arcade and Android platforms. For development, the agile XP methodology is applied, in addition to GameSalad Creator and Viewer, OpenProj, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Voice Record Pro, and C++ as the base programming language. The application has been submitted for validation in institutions of initial and primary education.
