THE PROPONENTS
ABSTRACT
Arithmetic is the oldest and simplest branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple daily counting to advanced science and business calculations. In common usage, the word refers to a branch of mathematics which records elementary properties of certain operations on numbers.
Scrabble is a popular word game and board game in which 2-4 players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a 15×15 game board.
The showcase was made to help those students having difficulties in arithmetic like solving simple problems and computing sign numbers.
The game is entitled “Double Bag Math Scratch”. It is inspired by the game double bag scrabble with a twist of mathematics. We use the word scratch because it is synonymous to scrabble.
