E-WayCool: Embedding IXD theory and representation concepts in teaching mathematics

This paper introduces the use of the theory of interaction design (IxD) and the concept of representation in shadow play, known as Wayang Kulit (WK), to teach mathematics.Drawing from the facts that there is deficient in performance of primary school children in mathematics, we proposed the e-WayCoo...
