The Psychology of Gamified Learning
Ask any group of primary school children what they think about mathematics, and you will likely hear words like “hard,”“boring,” or “scary.” For decades, traditional education has treated math as a series of rigid drills, rote memorization, and high-pressure timed tests. But if you watch those exact same children play video games, a strange paradox […]

Injecting fun into probability and chance for primary school mathematics
Many events happen in a random, unpredictable nature. The study of probability for primary school children in many countries including Uganda therefore forms a basis for understating nature. Probability is applied in many disciplines including statistics, meteorology, game theory and risk analysis among others Many learners go through this topic without understanding its core nature […]

Number sense is the secret weapon for children that excel in mathematics
Many things that we take to be obvious are a result of mental modals that we build as a result of consistent exposure. It is this lack of mental models that when a baby presented with two cakes will not be able to tell which one is bigger. This distinction becomes obvious as the baby […]

5 (Five) Main reasons why primary school children continue to fail mathematics – Boldungu can fix some
“A Problem Well Stated is Half Solved”. These words by Charles Kettering, who was head of research at General Motors from 1920 to 1947, are still valid. Mathematics remains an uphill task for learners, teachers and countries because it has a direct impact on the economy in terms of future of work and innovations. In […]

Turn mathematics problem solving for primary school children into a conversation
Vocabulary is the body of words one can use effectively to communicate in a given language. Our research shows that learners in lower classes find difficulty in using common mathematics words such as “altogether”, “diameter”, “profit” and many others, which makes it impossible for them to workout the correct answers. This inadequacy in mathematics vocabulary […]
