Detailed Description

This project is a collaboration of Rajya Shiksha Kendra (Madhya Pradesh) and IDC. The aim of this project was to make education fun for kids. We started with studying and understanding the academic syllabus of primary schools followed by a discussion on the problem areas. Two primary areas maths and language were identified as the one requiring maximum attention. This report covers the gamification of the chapter of Simple Interest(SI) as in commercial mathematics concerning children of class five onwards. The calculation of SI boils down to the act of substitution on values in a given formula of PRT/100 but the proper explanation of the elements in the formula is often overlooked by the teacher as well as the students. The game explains the concept of a bank, borrowing, paying interest as well as taking care of ones savings. This game breaks down both the concept and the calculation into smaller fun steps such that the child learns in the eagerness of playing the game.
