Features that can make Mangahigh an effective curricular supplement:

  • Each game is designed to dynamically adapt its difficulty to the ability of the student
  • Game mechanics overlay the core math concepts for a new and more efficient way of learning
  • Games-based learning helps develop the ability to observe, hypothesize, test, evaluate, conclude, and refine ideas
  • Games provide contexts that can bring out the "real-world" application of the topic increasing student interest

Challenges are exercises that a teacher can assign to an individual or to whole classes. By achieving the target within the allotted time, students can successfully complete these challenges.
