A General Review of Acquisitions and Problems in The Process of Adapting and Applying Traditional Children’s Games into Maths

Abstract

The objective of this study is to reveal the acquisitions and problems experienced

by preservice maths teachers during the application of traditional children’s games that

are adapted in the lesson of “Maths and Game”. Participants of the study consisted of 17

preservice mathematics teachers studying in the Department of Primary School Mathematics

Education. Data collection tools involved a form composed of open-ended questions and

“Mathematics Games 5E Lesson Plan Report” that was prepared by each preservice teacher

for each game. The acquired qualitative data were exposed to descriptive and content analyses.

As a consequence, it was determined that these applications helped students love mathematics

more, made the lessons more entertaining, removed their prejudices against mathematics, increased participation in lessons and provided permanent and meaningful learning. It was

also found that these adapted games were effective upon supporting the social-emotional

development of students and increased the belief and self-confidence of preservice teachers to

teach mathematics via adapted games.

Keywords
