The teacher can provide
preliminary explanations or
examples before the game
begins so students are better
prepared.
The labels on the goal nets
serve as visual guides,
helping students organize
information and make
quicker decisions.
With a clear structure (such
as game steps and scoring
rules), students can more
easily understand how
numbers and place values
are connected.
Active Engagement &
Retention
Students physically participate in the learning process, which
enhances engagement and makes the lesson more interactive.
The combination of cognitive processing (identifying place value)
and physical activity (throwing the ball) strengthens memory
retention.
The game format adds an element of excitement and motivation,
encouraging students to stay focused and participate more actively.

Learning in a meaningful
experience
Actively process information
rather than just memorizing
facts, as they must make
decisions before throwing the
ball.
