Math Quest: A Role-playing Game Learning Platform for Numbers

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a role playing game that could be used to learn mathematics for children between the ages of 10 to 12 years. This prototype is built with a story-line, challenges, and a reward system. The methodology used in the developing the system is Spiral model. The system is developed using “Flash 8,” “Photoshop CS2 Macromedia FreeHand,” and “Sound Forge & Audacity”. Ten students were involved in the preliminary evaluation of the prototype. Initial evaluation of Math Quest shows that the children enjoyed the game and will like the math class conducted using the game.
