playing game as the start-up application that has reality to our students, and getting more active participation of the students in classes.
In the game, students use 3D vectors and their operations, mainly through the
3D graphics objects displayed by dynamic graphics software.
Mathematical knowledge is to be
introduced as the rule of the game at first, and experienced before the formal explanation.
In engineering education, we often use Project Based Learning approach successfully, and this is
our first attempt to use the approach in the learning of fundamental mathematics at our college,
where rote learning is the dominant learning strategy employed especially when the students learn
3D vectors and their operations. We expect the approach to improve the performance of our
students in linear algebra, and we gain the evidence in the near future.
