Abstract:

 The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of mobile math games for mildly intellectually disabled students which will reflect positively on their calculations. The quantitative approach was adopted where the total number of the intellectually disabled students in the study was 10 from two private schools. The study was limited to grades 1, 2 and 3, whose ages ranged from 6.8 to 9.10. The students were divided into two groups, where the control group had 5 mildly intellectually disabled students and the experimental group also had 5 mildly intellectually disabled students. The measuring instrument or tool that was used in this study is the Woodcock-Johnson III, Test of Achievement limited to the calculation section. The pretest was done during the first trimester of the school year. Then the educational math games for kids “Monster Numbers”: addition, subtraction, numbers intervention was applied for two trimesters. After that, the posttest was done and the results were submitted for analysis, where the means and standard deviations, the independent samples T- test, and the paired samples T- test were calculated. The results of this study showed statistical differences to the benefit of the experimental group over the control group.
