Magic Integrated: Competitive Video Games in Elementary School Classrooms

Abstract

Magic Integrated consists of four minigames that encourage students to learn concepts taught in grades K-5. Each minigame is self-contained and focuses on friendly two-player competitions between students. Omega Math teaches students typing and mathematics skills by typing words and solving math problems. Duel of the Products is a minigame where each player boosts their magical energy by solving math problems. The Matching Battle minigame asks each player to find pairs of cards. Maze Finder is a minigame where each player is presented with a maze and given the task to make it to the end of the maze before the other player.
