Abstract

Mission Algebra™ is a hands-on, gamified educational board game designed to simplify algebra learning among secondary school students. National data (KPM-Diagnostic Report, 2022) shows that over 45% of students struggle with algebraic expressions. This innovation uses color-coded magnetic caps for negative values (green), positive values (red), and constant values (blue) to make algebra visual, tactile, and engaging. Through four structured missions aligned with the KSSM curriculum, students progressively learn key concepts like simplifying,expanding, and solving equations. Classroom trials revealed a 55% improvement in algebra accuracy, with increased confidence and enthusiasm for math. The project is designed with recycled materials and supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption). Plans include expanding it into a DIYschool kit and a mobile app with AI guidance. Mission Algebra™ is more than a game; it’s a transformative learning tool for the classroom and beyond.
