Learning addition by playing an adaptive game with coins

Recent studies have shown that the use of educational games during learning process is dramatically increased. Furthermore, researchers suggest the attachment of adaptive features in order to motivate students and assess their knowledge level on a specific educational subject. In this paper, we present an educational browser-based game with coins that contributes to better understanding the addition process in elementary education. The game encompasses user modeling and adaptive techniques. It determines students' knowledge level and helps them outcome difficulties and obtain fluency in arithmetic addition skills.
