A linear algebra quiz game as a supplementary learning tool in tertiary-level

Abstract

This article presents a study investigating the use of games in undergraduate mathematics instruction, with a specific focus on students’ perspectives regarding post-instructional quiz games. The study explores students’ opinions on the implementation of a linear algebra quiz game as a supplementary learning tool. A survey was administered to 78 students to examine their perceptions of the game’s usefulness in preparing for their linear algebra examinations. Students reported high levels of attention and interest while engaging with the game and described it as fun, dynamic, exciting, and beneficial for reviewing linear algebra concepts. The findings suggest that quiz games can be a valuable addition to undergraduate mathematics education, fostering student engagement and providing an enjoyable and effective means for reinforcing course material.
