Integers board game is effective experiential learning tool for primary math
Lalit Kishore[1]
At primary level, the use of board games along with observation recording sheet with the moves can make children learn the basic math concepts with many non-cognitive gains like being attentive, taking turns and being rules-bound.
Kishore[2] (2013) devised and trialed integers board game at grade eight. A three-hour play on the board-game with worksheets to record the moves of dice throws led to better conceptualization of the number system and operations and found it an efficacious tool of transition to abstract learning of mathematics.
