| description | This paper introduces the use of the theory of interaction design (IxD) and the concept of representation in shadow play, known as Wayang Kulit (WK), to teach mathematics.Drawing from the facts that there is deficient in performance of primary school children in mathematics, we proposed the e-WayCool as a means for natural developmental progress in learning the subject. For teachers, e-WayCool provides options for a different version of a digital teaching tool to support teaching mathematical operations, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division whereby prealgebraic concept is being introduced via the concept of representation.Ten actors of WK are utilized in delivering the teaching modules of the operations within the range of whole numbers ranging from 1-1000. Each operation is not mutually exclusive, but bound to a specific representation concept and activity scenarios.The results are discussed in terms of the interests and effectiveness of e-WayCool as a complementary digital tool for classroom instruction and, at the same time preserving the WK, one of the Malay endangered cultural heritages. |
