3. Teaching Approach
The teaching approach used is game-based learning. In this approach, learners are
taught through playing the game while the teacher guides them to understand
mathematical concepts.
The teacher will first explain the rules of Morabaraba and demonstrate how the game
is played. Learners will then play in pairs or small groups. During the game, the
teacher will ask questions that link the moves in the game to number patterns.
For example, learners can count moves, identify repeating positions, and observe
patterns formed on the board. This allows learning to take place in a practical and
enjoyable way.
4. Rules of the Game (Morabaraba)
Morabaraba is played by two players using a board with lines and intersections.
Each player has twelve tokens, usually called cows.
