Mobile Game for Children

In order for young children to learn in school, there must be an effective way in
providing good and suitable learning technique for them to understand well.
Some children are having difficulties while facing mathematical problems. This
is because, between 5% and 8% of school-age children have some problem of
memory or cognitive deficit that may interferes with their ability to learn and
interpret the concepts or procedures in mathematics. Thus, by providing puzzle
game for children may help these children in learning mathematics. There are
already puzzle game focuses on mathematic in the Internet, such as Sudoku,
Math Lines, and many more. Still, these games only can be play by using Internet
and computer. By following the technology nowadays, smart-phones in the
market can be used as a platform to develop the puzzle game, providing mobility,
fast, and easy to use. Moreover, most mobile games that are already in the market
are not really suitable for young children to learn mathematics. As the reason to
this, the author come up with mobile-based game, called Mobile Game for
Children. It will be develop based on children problems and the theory of puzzle
suitable to be put in this project. The prototyping methodology is being used in
this project as any few refinements can be made before developing final solution.
The process is divided into four stages which are planning, analysis, design, and
implementation. This report will provide a findings about learning disabilities,
the benefits of games towards the children, and the technology been used
nowadays.
