Numbers Game Unit Overview Unit Title Numbers Game Unit Summary
After taking part in activities to learn about the concept of number operations, trainees will share their knowledge and understanding by creating an interactive teaching aid. In this project, they are the inventors who will create a game base on the number operations. They have to creatively come up with name, instructions and rules. The game will be presented using powerpoint and web site. The evaluation will be based especially on the application of the concept and creativeness. Hopefully, this game can be used by the primary teachers for the enrichment activity.
