Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design and apply a simple game that can visually experience basic concepts of game mathematics in order to teach game mathematics effectively. To do this, simple games linked with game mathematical theory are to be developed by utilizing the functions provided by Unity so that students could actively learn game mathematics. To demonstrate the plausibility of this approach, "Bouncing Ball Game" was developed to understand the concept of periodicity of trigonometric functions. As a result, students were able to effectively learn how mathematical concepts related to ball movements applied to the game.
