We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop…

Mathematics achievement of Indonesian students has not been relatively optimal whereby most of the students still have low mathematics achievement. Hence, the present study develops and produces a digital game called Ucing Sumput that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students. Research and…

This study developed a teaching module that incorporated the Monty Hall problem to introduce conditional probability in a college introductory statistics course. This teaching module integrated a guess -- experiment -- discussion approach with game-based instruction. The researchers piloted this module and made modifications. The work of 20…

Probability requires teaching approaches that allow children to predict, observe and experiment with concreate materials, games and simulations. In this study, we explored one teacher's beliefs and practices of teaching probability using game-based approaches. We employed a design-based research approach to explore how our case study teacher…

In this paper, we make a qualitative analysis of didactic experiments performed with five 6 to 10-year-old children and five primary school teachers, starting from a structured game with probabilistic elements. The fundamental idea is to stimulate probabilistic thinking not only by playing a card game with decision making in uncertain situations,…

One major drawback to the curriculum demand for the use of indigenous games in mathematics classrooms is the inability of most teachers to identify the mathematics in these games and consequently incorporate them when teaching specific mathematics content. The primary purpose of the study is therefore to analyze and show how the indigenous…

This proceedings volume of InCoTEPD 2018 covers many ideas for handling a wide variety of challenging issues in the field of education. The outstanding ideas dealing with these issues result in innovation of the system. There are many innovation strategies resulting from recent research that are discussed in this book. These strategies will become…
