From Here to There: Preparing an effective game-based algebra intervention for scale

FH2T is a game-based application that teaches math concepts through discovery-based puzzles. Math symbols are presented as movable, physical objects, and perceptual learning principles and game design elements are incorporated. FH2T has 14 modules that focus on different math concepts and that build on each other, including addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, order of operations, distributive property, factoring, moving expressions from either side of the equals sign, and solving linear equations. The current version of FH2T was only designed for use in research studies. The updated version of FH2T will preserve all of the original aspects while upgrading the application's infrastructure and login system, adding a real-time teacher dashboard and assignment system, improving the user interface, and creating the introductory tutorial materials.
