Connection:1.Learning is meaningful
when new concepts are
related to what learners
already know, rather than
just memorizing facts.
- Advance organizers (like
charts, examples, or
introductory explanations)
help learners structure and
relate new information to
existing knowledge.
3. New knowledge is
integrated into an existing
framework of ideas in a
hierarchical manner.
4. Learners retain
information better
when actively
engaged.
2.Before playing, learners can be
introduced to prime numbers vs.
whole numbers through a short
lesson, diagram, or discussion.
This helps them categorize and
process the numbers efficiently
during the game.- Players expand their numerical
understanding by recognizing
that prime numbers are a special
subset of whole numbers,
reinforcing their mathematical
knowledge structure.
4.Instead of passively reading
about prime numbers, players are
actively identifying and marking
them in an interactive, game-
based format, leading to better
retention.- Players must connect their prior
understanding of numbers with
new knowledge about prime
numbers, making learning more
meaningful and long-lasting
compared to rote memorisation
