This study aims to evaluate the impact of Circumference Board gamification on the achievement of second-form students in the topic of circles at two schools in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The study involved 60 students, with 30 students from each school (15 male and 15 female) selected using random stratified sampling. A quasi-experimental design was…

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) is a pedagogical approach employed in educational contexts, wherein digital games are utilised to effectively attain specific learning outcomes. For teacher professional programmes to develop appropriate curricula on DGBL pedagogy, it is important to understand how teachers currently use DGBL in their teaching…

This investigation explored the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered gamification on mathematics cognition through a mixed-methods design, blending an intervention with a gamified learning application (app) and a survey to evaluate student engagement and performance. The study explores the nexus of gamification, AI, and mathematics…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Learning Trajectories (LT[superscript 2])-based games on the mathematical learning of four-year-old kindergarteners. The research employed the ADDIE paradigm, incorporating a pre-test, post-test, and a control group experimental design. The sample group comprised 30 children--15 in the experimental…

Background/purpose: Several previous studies have attempted to develop Android learning media for elementary students beginning to learn counting. However, no media with a levelled adventure theme exists. The purpose of this research is to develop an android-based learning media, B'Math, to improve elementary students' counting skills.…

The aim of this study is to understand teacher education students' experience with an introduction to use of escape room as a didactic tool in mathematics, and to gain insight on the impact of such an introduction on teacher education students' development as mathematics teachers. Escape room is a new, game-based, didactic tool in school that…

Math learning in early childhood is critical for later success, as it is predictive of mathematical and academic achievement through adolescence. Therefore, developing engaging and effective methods for early math instruction are important. Math games are a common method for teaching math in a way that is motivating and engaging for young children…

Aim/Purpose: This study examines the relationship between primary school teachers' knowledge and their acceptance of digital game-based learning (DGBL) in mathematics teaching. Background: The rapid integration of digital technology in education highlights the potential of DGBL in primary mathematics education. Despite its advantages, the…

In this study, we evaluate the impact of a game-based supplemental fraction curriculum on student engagement, fraction knowledge, and STEM interest in inclusive elementary mathematics classrooms. Utilizing a robust experimental design, the research explores how a game-based interventions can augment traditional fraction instruction and promote…

We develop a spreadsheet-based game to illustrate fundamental statistical concepts in the first class of an undergraduate Statistics course to motivate students about the topics that they will learn in upcoming classes. This game has been implemented by Google Forms and Google Sheets and can be played in both online and in-person classes of small…

Mathematics achievement of Indonesian students has not been relatively optimal whereby most of the students still have low mathematics achievement. Hence, the present study develops and produces a digital game called Ucing Sumput that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students. Research and…

In this study, the mathematical problem-solving ability with ethnomathematics nuances of the marble game based on student learning styles has been examined. A qualitative methodology is used, with the research instruments being a learning style questionnaire, a problem-solving ability test, and interviews based on problem-solving ability…

This study contended that Grade 1 learners can use the indigenous Amagende game as part of their learning, especially in mathematics. In line with this assertion, this paper's authors explored the impact of Amagende in learning numeracy skills. This qualitative case study, underpinned by Mbigi's Collective Fingers Theory, conducted semi-structured…

Background/purpose: This research aimed at designing an educational program based on gamification for teaching mathematics as required by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) to determine its impact on advancing strategic competence among fourth-grade male students in the first semester of Academic Year 1445AH in…

Students often perceive mathematics as a challenging and abstract subject, leading to disengagement and anxiety. To address these challenges, educators have increasingly turned to math games as a pedagogical tool to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. This paper explores the potential of math games, particularly Bachet's game, as…
