Educational Benefits
--------------------
We all know that kids find video games fun, exciting and
motivating. But what about the benefits of using video games for
educational purposes?
According to the research, using video games to learn encourages
the learner to take an active role in his or her learning, take
risks, and engages the learner in an interactive, fun way. Using
video games to learn ensures children get immediate feedback,
understand each new skill before moving on to the next level, and
challenges children to keep going to improve their scores or get
more points and, while doing this, reinforce what is being
learned.
The Importance of the Skills Being Developed in Kids Learn™ Math
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mathematics is a powerful learning tool. Children who have a good
understanding of basic math concepts and a positive attitude
toward mathematics grow up with a framework and tools for
reasoning, problem solving, and expressing ideas and concepts
clearly. When children are engaged in math activities that are
engaging, motivating and relevant to their lives, they are able
to extend and apply their knowledge across the curriculum to
areas such as science, geography, music and art.
The math curriculum is divided into the following 5 strands:
* Number Sense and Numeration – This strand refers to mathematics
related to number and operations. With a good sense of number,
children are able to develop useful strategies for solving
problems. This strand includes the four basic operations of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
* Measurement – When children learn about measurement concepts
and skills they learn the attributes of the many objects that can
be measured and the way to measure quantities such as time,
temperature, mass, volume and area. Children learn to use a
variety of measurement tools and learn to apply their
understanding of measurement relationships.
* Geometry and Spatial Sense – Children develop spatial sense by
comparing shapes and figures in various positions. They can
visualize shapes, draw them and compare them as they manipulate
two- and three-dimensional objects. Children with a strong
spatial sense have a better understanding and appreciation for
the many geometric aspects of the world around them.
* Patterning and Algebra: The study of patterns and relationships
is one of the major themes in mathematics. Children learn to
recognize, describe and generalize patterns in order to help them
understand the observable patterns that exist in the real world.
Children learn to identify and articulate the properties of
patterns and learn to use graphs, tables and verbal descriptions
to represent relationships that generate patterns.
* Data Management and Probability – When children work in this
strand, they learn about different ways to gather, organize and
display data. They learn how to read and analyze data to draw
conclusions about various themes and topics. Learning how to
understand graphs and statistics helps children draw conclusions
based on their ability to think critically about many of the
problems and issues they will encounter in their everyday lives.
Each of these strands is represented in the Kids Learn™ Math
games.
Additionally Kids Learn™ Math Features:
---------------------------------------
Performance Tracking: During the game you can constantly check
your performance results for specific exercises or entire
modules, to see how you're doing. When you think you've trained
enough, you can try some career exercises to see if you can
improve your score and unlock some new games!
Personal Coach: Your personal coach will explain how to play
each game, give you tips on how to improve your abilities and
evaluate your results.
Career Mode: One round in Career Mode consists of three games.
You can only play one round per day, so if you have already
played the Career Mode on a particular day, you will have to wait
until the next day to play another round. After you have
completed one day's career round, three new games will be
available in the Training Mode. Initially, they will only be
available in easy mode. The coach will always tell you which new
games you have . These three new games will make up your
next career round, so train them well in the Training Mode before
you start your next career round!
Depending on how well you scored in the daily career round, you
can also unlock new difficulty levels for the games that you have
already played.
Exercise Mode: In the Exercise Mode you can train your
mathematical skills by practicing some basic exercises. There are
four types of exercises you can choose from: addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division.
Each exercise can be completed using one of three methods:
simple, halfhandwritten or handwritten.
...and much more!
Your child can play while learning with Kids Learn™ Math - a
great investment in your child's development.
