60 minutes.
They were not given any instruction on how to play the game in order to later discuss their opinions regarding it, thus
they had to figure it out by themselves.
The game is made up of several levels, but the goal is always the same: build towers (available by purchasing them with
a specific amount of gold), in order to prevent the Giants from crossing the map and invading the town and its inhabitants.
The players must take into account 3 "indicators":

-the gold used to build the towers and defenses
-the number of hordes that will try to invade the town
-his/her overall health (expressed in numbers, i.e. 20/20 is the maximum, when it drops to 0 the game ends resulting 
 in a loss).]]> 2019-02-26 17:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335476444 ist_mariaausiliatrice https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478216 2019-02-26 17:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478216 ist_mariaausiliatrice https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478516 2019-02-26 17:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478516 ist_mariaausiliatrice https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478652 The first level was quite easy and seemed to be an introduction to the game itself, whilst the next two levels presented
a greater amount of difficulty.
Only 1 out of the 7 students who were playing the game succeeded in passing the third level.
According to the students, there isn't a great correlation between the game and Maths, but one of the possible links 
could be the presence of the gold used to build the towers to defend the city.
Furthermore, the player's health is expressed in life points (thus a number). 
In addition to this, students had to make decisions on which tower/s to sell in order to improve weapons or abilities
according to the present game situation, thus applying Maths calculations.]]> 2019-02-26 17:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335478652 ist_mariaausiliatrice https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335479112 2019-02-26 17:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ist_mariaausiliatrice/sbdz2ys41pzc/wish/335479112
