What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a software product called Math Team Games (MTG) that allows high school students to engage in collaborative math games using mobile tablets and touchscreen devices. The software is designed for both traditional and virtual classrooms, enabling students to work together on math problems in real-time. Teachers can monitor student performance through their own devices, making it an interactive learning experience. The technology allows for handwritten math notation and sketches, fostering a more engaging and effective learning environment.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are high school students who are learning algebra and have access to mobile devices in their educational environment.
Not a fit: Students who are not enrolled in high school algebra courses or do not have access to the necessary technology may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could enhance math learning and collaboration among high school students, improving their understanding and performance in algebra.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using technology to enhance collaborative learning in mathematics, indicating a promising potential for this approach.
