Decimal Point Project

The Decimal Point Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, explores whether educational games can motivate middle school students and help them better learn decimals and decimal operations compared to more conventional (non-game) instructional approaches. The game is based on an amusement park metaphor, in which the effects of various instructional strategies are examined.
