Gamification is the idea that we could turn what would be work or education or some sort of goal into a game. And the reason why this is so important is because if we can turn it into a game, then the consequences of not potentially answering correctly or necessarily accomplishing the goal on the first try becomes “try again.” You see, like when you’re playing a game like basketball, for example, if the ball doesn’t go in the hoop the first time, from a coaching perspective, what you tell the player is to shoot again. And so like, it’s important for the student to get the feeling that they have more than one shot at trying to get whatever it is they’re working on and trying to understand it. So what we really recommend is that you work with your student from the perspective of treating mathematics as a language, a lot actually just boils down to language.
