A Rule Based Approach to teach Mathematics using Animation

There are different available methodologies for teaching mathematics to children. Teachers use different approaches. Some of the exiting approaches include engaging students with different activities and games. Computer games/tools have been proven effective with teaching Maths. The aim of the paper is to provide teachers with no background in Computer Science with a utility that enables them to build their own games. In this way, teachers will be able to customize games according to the principles they want their students to learn.
