Why is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

This is because games are really fun, but 5 page math tests take forever and are really boring. They are so boring I fell asleep during one. Luckily, my friend woke me up before the teacher saw. 

How does your game world teach the player about your topic?

It teaches the player about math and teamwork. The players use the math skills they know.

Where does your game happen?

My game takes place on a made up basketball court. It is completely orange with a 3-point line and a hoop. This setting will teach kids where a basketball game takes place.

What will your game teach the player about your topic?

My game will teach people about teamwork and how to do difficult math problems. This will help kids with things in and outside school.

Who are you designing your game for?

I'm designing my game for my dad who is a huge sports fan. And best of all, basketball is his favorite sport. I am also a big sports fan, so I made this game for me. My dad is 43, knows a lot about basketball, and has limited athletic ability.
