Abstract

Conclusion. It is concluded that the adequate integration of serious games through Exploratory Teaching created a motivating and challenging learning environment for the students. This approach promoted greater active participation and involvement in 1st-grade primary school students and contributed to a significant improvement in their mental arithmetic development. Serious Games must be integrated into the classroom in an appropriate way to favor the learning of mathematics. We suggest integration through Exploratory Teaching so that students develop essential skills and improve their learning.
