One Adventure Changes the Math Education Landscape by Gamifying a Frustrating Experience

By: Issuewire

The mobile app is set to be launched December 2020, with the mission of making math fun and accessible to children learning and studying at home

Elk Grove, Nov 24, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - A fun and innovative new math learning platform for children is set to be released in December 2020. One Adventure is an interactive math board with an accompanying mobile app that teaches mathematical concepts both through a hands-on approach and a video game experience.

The math board measures 15 by 15 inches and looks similar to a board game with accompanying manipulative number coins and task cards that children use while studying math. Included in the math board package are four sets of coins, each a different color, that correspond to the type of operation the student is performing: counting, addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The task cards prompt students to complete a mathematical problem using the math board, and the correct answer is displayed on the reverse side.

The accompanying mobile app is an educational gaming experience that takes children on an adventure to save Princess Pie, who has been kidnapped by the Evil Divisor. The main character, One, must set out on a quest to save the Princess. The app comes with a board game and can be downloaded by scanning the included QR code.

The game features 21 levels for children to navigate, with the first 12 being unlocked. To successfully complete each level, One must solve a number of math problems. The first 12 levels teach addition and subtraction fundamentals while the 9 locked levels contain multiplication problems.

To advance to a new level, One must achieve a target score in a set amount of time. If the character does not reach the goal, they must play the level over. Throughout the adventure, the player also collects coins resembling those on the math board. The more coins the character collects, the more options the player has to customize their character by trading in coins. The game also encourages engagement by allowing players to share their stats with friends.

One Adventure is a family effort, created by the Coleman family. The Colemans were inspired to create the game in response to the pandemic and more children being schooled at home. They were looking for a way to keep kids engaged and learning while outside a traditional classroom environment. By combining their interests and experiences--an avid gamer and a Montessori teacher--the Colemans came up with a game-like experience that continues to build math skills, even when students are learning at home.

"Math can be a frustrating subject for students and parents alike. With kids cooped up at home and relying on their parents for more help with homework due to the COVID pandemic, we wanted to come up with a fun and frustration-free way to build math skills," said the Colemans.

"We wanted to be sure that whatever we came up with was fun and engaging, so by blending our family's love for and knowledge of video games and educational expertise, we were able to achieve that goal with One Adventure."
