Knowledgehook is a start-up company located in Kitchener, which produces interactive and engaging games specifically geared towards mathematics. Knowledgehook's game show is in many ways similar to the popular game Kahoot, however Knowledgehook features many more features specifically designed for mathematics, which will be demonstrated in the next video.]]> 2017-03-27 15:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/162849861 the_ericwang35 https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/162851037 2017-03-27 15:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/162851037 3. A major problem with Canadian Students the_ericwang35 https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/162851886
A disturbing trend that has been happening all across Canada is the decline in math scores. Although many factors play into this, there is one main reason for this decline; students' disinterest in the subject. As demonstrated in the graph, 8 out of 10 provinces failed to score above average in mathematics, and this trend has only gotten worse throughout recent years ]]> 2017-03-27 15:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/162851886 2. A Quick Demonstration of the Game the_ericwang35 https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164115650 2017-04-01 17:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164115650 4. How does Knowledgehook help? the_ericwang35 https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164116036
As mentioned before, a major catalyst for this decline is the fact that students simply find mathematics "boring," and are thus less inclined to study. This is where Knowledgehook comes in. By turning mathematics into an interactive game show, it helps to engage students and keep them interested in mathematics, which will no doubt result in higher math scores. Not only does Knowledgehook help engage students, it also helps teachers monitor how well students are understanding the material, as they will have live feedback on how many questions the students are answering correctly, and which areas the students' weaknesses lie. ]]> 2017-04-01 17:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164116036 5. Conclusion the_ericwang35 https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164116591
To sum things up, Knowledgehook's product provides a great solution to a major issue in today's society. By turning mathematics into an interactive game, students will be more inclined to pay attention and develop their mathematical skills, which will in turn counter the decline in math scores in Canada. ]]> 2017-04-01 17:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/the_ericwang35/zd5gguzii29d/wish/164116591
