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.
