Conducted at a public school in Maceió, the research involved pre- and post-implementation questionnaires regarding the games, along with the organization of a Mathematical Games Fair. The results revealed enhancements in mathematical understanding and problem-solving following the intervention, indicating a 156.1% increase in students' average grades. The playful and creative approach to learning proved effective, not only fostering mastery of the concepts but also nurturing skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, suggesting the potential of educational games as a promising strategy in math education.Acesso AbertoJogos matemáticosEnsino de matemáticaAprendizagem lúdicaÁlgebraMathematical gamesTeaching mathematicsPlayful learningAlgebraTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
