Abstract

Primary school pupils have good mathematics learning achievements but lack interest and attitude towards mathematics learning in Taiwan. Therefore, it is necessary and feasible to study how to use game-based learning in mathematics. In this research, the board games are adopted and designed by the team members, and then are integrated into the learning of mathematics fractions. The pre-test and post-test are designed to analyze the effectiveness of pupils using board games for learning and the formation of fraction conceptions, supplemented by interviews to understand pupils’ interest and attitudes changes in learning. Research has found that pupils who only use board games for learning can recognize and read unit fractions, which can achieve the expected learning goals and enhance pupils’ interest and attitude towards mathematics learning. Finally, the limitations of this research study and the directions for future research are also proposed. Keywords: board game, fraction learning, game-based learning, teaching aids
