Gamification in Primary School Mathematics Teaching

Abstract

This essay explains the current situation of primary school mathematical teaching and the effectiveness of applying Gamification in mathematical primary classrooms. The primary school stage is an important issue that the whole society cares about in childhood education. Among them, as a mathematics subject that will be widely used in future development, its learning method is even more critical. However, as traditional mathematics classes cannot consider individual differentiation, they cannot let students reach their potential. It will lead to a wrong understanding of mathematical theory from students. Therefore, it needs to incorporate some new pedagogy. Gamification, as a novel and innovative teaching method, can increase students’ motivation and interest in a subject, which can be used in primary school mathematics classes. However, it has not been widely used in primary school mathematics. This study will combine the analysis of gamification by a large number of researchers to explore its advantages and disadvantages for primary school mathematics teaching, as well as the current status of a small number of gamification mathematics teaching, the difficulties it uses, and the strategies that can be used. Finally, combined with a lot of research and analysis, Gamification is feasible in the application of elementary school mathematics. Even if it contains some defects, it can be used in combination with other pedagogies to make up for the defects.
