This learning object is a maths game that enables students to gain a basic understanding of trigonometry as they are working with angles and means (averages). This learning object is a simulation object, as it is showing a 'representation of some real-life system or process,' (Churchill, 2007, pg. 484).
This learning object has many advantages as it is putting meaning to what the children are calculating. When using traditional teaching methods, students generally can't see how these things will be used in the real world, but this game shows students how their calculations can be used. The game puts meaning into what the students are learning. It is also a lot more interactive.
