ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this study was to develop a mobile game-based math learning APP for the learners of elementary school. The study adopted gradual prompting of dynamic assessment to design a digital role-playing game for the students to learn number and calculation concepts. The learners have to solve the math problems for finishing the challenging mission in the process of this digital game playing. When they encounter difficulties in the game playing, the APP will offer real-time intervention gradually for assisting them to break through the challenge. After finishing the system, this study conducted an expert evaluation and learning experiment. The evaluation results revealed that the experts showed high appraisal toward this APP and the learners expressed their high interest and willing to use it.
