Abstract

Mobile Math Trails for Europe (MoMaTrE) is an ongoing project with the objective of conceptualizing and developing a fully gamified platform for creating, organizing and executing mathematics trails. We present some early experimental results concerning the introduction of shallow gamification techniques in the platform and discuss our plans for adding other gamification elements.
