The Benefits of the Game-Based Mathematics Method in Understanding Mathematics Lessons
In education, mathematics should not be taught solely through formulas and theories in a boring and challenging way. Instead, mathematical concepts should be presented to students by relating them to daily life through activities and games. Mathematics education should not be limited to the classroom, school, or home environment, as mathematics is present in every aspect of life. The more mathematics is associated with real life and games, the more students' interest and affection toward the subject increase. In this context, educators should aim to use activity-based approaches as much as possible in mathematics lessons. The aim of this study is to examine the contributions of the "game-based mathematics" method to students’ understanding of mathematics lessons in school settings. The study employed a qualitative research design, specifically the survey model. The theoretical foundations of the research were established by reviewing relevant literature. The research was structured using descriptive and causal design approaches. A non-random, convenience sampling method was used for data collection. The data obtained through literature review were analyzed and presented through a general evaluation.
