WHAT IS A DAMATH BOARD GAME
Damath is a two-player educational board game combining the board game "Dama" (Filipino word for
Checkers) and Mathematics. It is used as a teaching tool for both elementary and high school mathematics.
Every piece has a corresponding number and each even (white) square on board has a mathematical
symbol. The game was invented by Jesus L. Huenda. The game is commonly played in all elementary and
secondary schools in the Philippines
