The Why of Learning
“The why of learning calls for engagement.”
Wowzers engages students through story-driven online learning with animated characters, cognitive and skill-based video games related to math content, and problem-solving in a massive virtual world. It includes a reward system that keeps students attentive and driven to learn.
The What of Learning
“The what of learning calls for representation of information to be presented in different ways.”
Math content in Wowzers is presented through numerous representations. For example, multiplication is shown as an array, as an area, as skip-counting on a number line, in a word problem, as an inverse equation, and as math facts to memorize through gameplay.
