Abstract

Learning in an interesting and funny way is a successful key for little kids to absorb new concepts. In Hong Kong, kids are studying core subjects through “assessment” as they have to prepare for their standardized tests and examinations. Most of them are studying under high pressure to obtain excellence in the assessment. If they did not get good results, they will be frustrated and will lose their interest in learning eventually. This paper introduces the use of “game-based learning” for little kids to learn simple arithmetic calculations in a funny way. By using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, the application can provide training exercises casually to motivate kids to learn simple arithmetic during the gameplay. Kids are focusing on how to defeat the monsters to satisfy the game goal that they will work hard to solve the simple mathematical questions. Also, the application can enhance the parent-child relationship when the kids achieve the goal in each stage with their parents together.
