Abstract

The proposed demo is influenced by principles of embodied interaction design for supporting mathematics learning. In brief, student participants are literally tasked with jumping up and down in playful competition with one another, while a graphic representation dynamically grows and enumerates their physical activity. The intent is to create a "bodily-syntonic" experience that helps students draw a direct correlation between the frequency of their jumps and the magnitudes represented on the bar graph. In this manner a routine lesson is transformed into an opportunity for promoting both mathematics learning and physical exercise. The proposed installation will allow conference attendees to interact with various iterations of the original design and to explore how design choices affect user's experience and learning.
