Abstract

Math is a subject that can be very difficult to comprehend in its original form. However, in math we have so many opportunities to make it interesting for or easier for students to comprehend. Psychologist, Jean Piaget claimed that play is crucial to a child's cognitive development because play is the easiest way children are able to acquire and process new information. Play encourages students to participate in an enthusiastic way and internalize concepts in a concrete manner. (Ahmad, 2016)
