A fun strategy to develop meaningful learning in the subject of mathematics

Abstract

Mathematics teaching in the tenth grade faces significant challenges in creating meaningful learning. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different playful strategies applied in mathematics education for tenth grade students. The methodology used included searching and analyzing academic articles published in the last two decades, selecting studies that implemented playful strategies in mathematics teaching in the tenth grade. Databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and ERIC were used, and rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure the relevance and quality of the selected studies. The review indicates that playful strategies, such as educational games, interactive activities and the use of digital technologies, have a positive effect on meaningful learning. Students showed increased motivation, active participation and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. In addition, an improvement in problem-solving skills and overall academic performance was observed.
