Abstract

Angle Jungle is an iPad game designed as an educational supplement for fourth to sixth grade students learning about angles. The game asks players to solve puzzles using angles, and incorporates research in numeric-spatial learning, scaffolding tools, and puzzle design to reinforce the intended experience. We describe the game's development from concept to release. Angle Jungle is available as a standalone game on the Apple App Store allowing for both single player and collaborative play inside and outside the classroom.
