A team of undergraduates at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been commissioned to develop an activity to teach children basic math skills. We will be using this page to organize our progress and provide status.
The project is organized into two phases: first, build a simple end-to-end tic-tac-toe activity to become familiar with developing an activity from the ground up (see below). Second, to design and implement the math activity, utilizing what we've learned from the tic-tac-toe experience.
The Team
- Frank Tobia (tobiaf2@rpi.edu)
- Ryan Leary (learyr@rpi.edu)
- Ben Classen (classb@rpi.edu)
- Allen Lavoie (lavoia@rpi.edu)
- David Pizzuto (pizzud@rpi.edu)
Math activity
Milestones
Week 0
- All XML formats designed
- Problem format (Ryan)
- Goal format
- Persistence of state format
- Resource & Market format (Frank)
- Proof of concept implementations for parsing all XML formats
- Think about graphics for goals, resources, etc.
Week 1
- XML formats are integrated
- XML parsers are written (in Python with xml.dom)
- Python representations are started upon
Week 2
- Simple text- or stick-figure-based game

Week 3
- Add graphics
- Add sound
- Make game more interesting
Week 4 (May 1st)
- Testing
- clean up
- fixing
- dealing with problems that have arisen
Subsystems
- Graphics module
- Sound module
- Question module
- Engine module
Requirements
- Multiplayer
- Collaborative
