Thus, my innovation plan of integration of gamification into mathematics teaching and learning at the prekindergarten level has a very strong connection to issues broadcasted on the podcast. In light of this fact, it emphasizes how gamification can transform mathematics learning among young children by turning them into engagingly enjoyable activities. This is very consistent with my suggestion of involvement in making the process of acquiring knowledge about mathematics through specially adapted games more rewarding and entertaining.
The podcast and rough draft expand on how gamification increases motivation, decreases stress levels, and approaches meaningful learning through scientific research. The differences, of course, are cortically what my plan desires to derive from bringing some elements of gameplay into the teaching of mathematics.
Moreover, it has been underlined by the podcast and draft that gamification makes all this possible due to its personalization that it responds to any child's needs. This is represented in the way that I proposed to adapt the games according to prekindergarten grade-level children. The use of technology is another common point which could be added, even though this has not been mentioned, so as to further enhance the learning experience. My plan for this innovation goes hand in hand with the present trends in early education, as discussed in the podcast. I will look to apply the principles of gamification in teaching mathematics at the prekindergarten level and, therefore, take a very well-researched and practically proven way that has the potential to turn around how young children learn and relate to mathematics in a more engaging, effective, and enjoyable way.
