摘要：
Teaching computational thinking can be viewed as cultivating the capacity for logical thinking and problem-solving skills applied to foundational subjects such as mathematics. We report a pilot study on how carefully designed mobile app games that gamify elementary algebra learning are used in an annual computer science tournament and also at an annual mathematics festival in Hong Kong. We define mathematics gamification as the process of embedding mathematical concepts and their logical manipulations in a puzzle game-like setting aided by computing technologies. We have evaluated the learning efficacy of our mobile app games to gain numeracy proficiency in an annual computer science tournament for middle school students in Hong Kong.
