Overview

Qualitative case study explores board games' impact on teaching rational numbers, implying benefits for student motivation and engagement.

Key Points

  • Non-digital board and card games effectively teach non-negative rational numbers to Year 5 students, enhancing motivation.
  • Results show improved student perceptions of mathematics and increased confidence, self-esteem, and collaborative skills.
  • Qualitative case study includes quantitative analysis from three classes using board and card games during lessons.
  • Findings support the use of games as a pedagogical tool in mathematics, contributing to more engaging learning environments.
