Tech Revi ew: Game Platform for Up grading Counting Ability on Pre school Child ren

Abst ract-O ne of dif ficulties in learning mathema tics (counting) can be ove rcome by providing a relaxed and fun learning for preschoolers. Games can be used as an altern ative solution. This study was conduc ted as a pilot pro je ct for reviewing the Kodu, Unity 3D and Construct 2 game platf orm for this purpose. The method used is the classificat ion, review/eva luation, pro totyp ing and Tech Review of these game pla tforms will be discussed as a resul t in this paper.
