Reflections on the game. By Julie A, Winnie and Sara S

In the start it was confusing because we got different information’s about the game and we misunderstood each other. The Lithuanians already had a game, witch we couldn’t understand. One day we Skyped and we came up with another idea, which was a QR treasure hunt. We explained the game to the Lithuanians and talked about what we could do. We agreed to make the tasks with the formal a² + b² = c². We made the game on a website, and then we uploaded it on the blog.

Another day we tested the game on the 7^th graders. With the first group we had two teams, which worked well, because then there were competition as we expected. One of the teams had some troubles finding the QR codes. So maybe we shouldn’t hide them so hard, so they will do more math than looking for the QR codes. The team who did find the QR codes also made the tasks meanwhile they find the codes, which was the best idea so we have to say that to the teams in the future. In the end we made an evaluation with the group and they said it was to easy for 7^th graders because all the tasks had the same formal. They also said that they didn’t speak a lot of English. Our opinion is that it is up to the students to speak English because we couldn’t keep an eye on them while they were finding the QR codes.

In the second group we tested our game on, there were some mistakes as well. We forgot to tell them that they had to write which task they solved on their paper so we could correct it.

All in one the game worked fine. What we have to remember is to say the right information’s and place the QR codes more clearly so they are easily to find.
