Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will modify and evaluate the Heroes of Knowledge (HoK) games, beginning with the Math Heroes game which was designed to be played for up to 8 hours. Other games in the HoK series may be included in this process if they are fully developed and available for testing. In testing the efficacy of the Math Heroes game, children will play the game for 1-1.5 hours per week, 2-3 times per week, for 2-4 weeks (to accumulate 6-8 hours of game play). The game has been designed to target math knowledge skills identified by the Common Core Standards for Mathematics (2012).
