Abstract
Matific is a range of digital mathematics resources that aim to improve mathematics outcomes through the use of game-based applications. Each application, referred to as an episode, focuses on a specific mathematical concept. Each concept is linked to the mathematics curriculum and presents a series of five questions that provide a gradual increase in challenge. The purpose of this research evaluation was to investigate whether and how the use of Matific resources, used within a range of Australian primary school classrooms, can improve student engagement with mathematics and assist students in learning and understanding challenging mathematical concepts.
