Revolutionizing Mathematics Education: The Role of Games in 21st Century Education.

Abstract

The teaching of mathematics has undergone significant transformations, especially with the inclusion of games as an educational tool. Faced with contemporary challenges, education has had to reinvent itself, and games have proved to be powerful allies in this process. Through the playfulness and interactivity provided by games, students engage more actively and participatively in the learning process. In addition, games allow teaching to be personalized, meeting the individual needs of each student and promoting more meaningful learning. At the same time, games provide for the development of essential socio-emotional skills such as collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving. Technology also plays a key role in this context, offering access to a wide variety of educational resources. Thus, teaching math through games not only makes learning more interesting and motivating, but also prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century, empowering them to think critically, solve complex problems and collaborate effectively in an ever-changing world.
