Introduction

The main purpose of this project is to implement an educational game where children would enjoy learning mathematics without having the pressure of being in a controlled environment. An article by Dr. Brent Conrad on teaching addiction stated that “children consume just over three hours of media and two thirds is spent on screen media e.g. TV, Computers etc. while traditional reading is less than 20 minutes. We can clearly take this opportunity and be able to engage the children in a way that they will find enjoyable while increasing their knowledge. Moreover I believe that the time that today’s children spend on media will be more constructive as they will be learning mathematics which could further improve their life skills.
