Learning Calculus Concepts via a Video Game
Anoka-Ramsey Community College
Background
Calculus is challenging for many students, but what if there was a way to make Calculus less intimidating and more fun, while also improving overall achievement? Faculty at Anoka-Ramsey are testing the use of game-based learning (GBL) to do just this by focusing on the calculus concept of limits. In ths GBL experience, students play the Variant: Limits game to attain mastery, while faculty analyze the results. Let theadventures begin!
