DVE (Design and Print Media)

Faced with the challenges of engaging students in traditional mathematics education, students recognized the potential of gamification and embarked on a unique collaborative project, aiming to learn mathematic concepts through printed card games and digital card game.

DVE (Electronic and Computer Engineering) students designed the digital card game and DVE (Design and Print Media) students designed the printed card game. The card games help players build problem-solving skills rather than memorization of Maths formulas. 

Design Concept 

Most maths card games are quite traditional and unappealing to young people. We aim to redesign a maths card game set with colour and graphics more appealing to secondary school students using elements from popular Japanese animation. 

Process 

First, we interviewed secondary school students to learn more about their preference and and maths teachers to understand their requirements of maths card games. After the focus group interviews and questionnaires, we drafted our design using Adobe Ai and Adobe Photoshop and made several revisions before printing the cards. We also made a demo video to let users learn about the rules of the card games.

This card game aims to boost social skills of children.
