Didactic Game

There is nothing better than learning while playing. Here comes our didactic game.
This didactic game is targeting grade 4 students in order to assess their knowledge in an amusing way regarding decimals. This lesson is included in the Lebanese curriculum and I teach it to my students as a unit. In other words, “decimals” is a unit divided into 6 lessons covered in two weeks, followed by a test wrapping all the unit. The game should be played after covering the whole unit (6 lessons) and before doing the test.

This game cannot be played individually; it should be done through groups while the teacher is simply a facilitator. His/her job is to divide the students among five groups. It’s advised to have 5 students in each group since the game contains 5 levels and all groups will go through them.

Some questions include direct feedback while others not. That’s why the teacher should be assessing students work and marking grades for each group. In order to have a winner at the end of the game.
Here is a demo about the game.

  1. Thank you for this clear and instructional screencast tutorial: "I chose 1.1 on the top right because this game is on decimals.", "It is advisable to assess students for the same instructional objectives", "Certain exercises have instant feedback", etc.
