Abstract:We present an innovative educational design for basic arithmetic that responds to students’ documented difficulties with adding and subtracting single-digit positive and negative numbers. The design utilizes MOVES, a technological architecture that combines floor- and wall-projected interactive interfaces. Students enact arithmetic operations, e.g., “3 - (-2)” by walking along a projected body-scale number line, while their actions are captured and analyzed to provide in-the-moment feedback on elements of thei… Show more
