Kinecting to Mathematics through Embodied Interactions

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Developed by a team of university students, the KinectMath software program encourages junior high and high school students to master abstract algebraic functions through embodied interactions using popular game-playing technology. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/KVoRVIg7U40 is a video segment showing UW Bothell students working with a professor to develop a teaching tool for mathematics by using the Microsoft Kinect.
