Do Children Understand Binary Numbers by Electric Card Game?

This paper describes the card game enhanced learning where a child learns how to translate a binary number to the corresponding decimal number by playing Concentration (one of popular card games) with some children. We developed the prototype system of computer-based Concentration that substitutes RFID cards for the playing cards. We demonstrated the prototype system at an educational event for children. From the demonstration, we observed that the participants (children) enjoyed the Concentration and had interest in binary numbers.
