Applying game-based methods in teaching comparison of natural numbers for grades 1, 2, and 3 to develop students' thinking ability

Abstract

Game - based learning not only creates a fun learning environment but also helps students absorb knowledge in a natural and effective way. This research provides insights into the concept of natural numbers as presented in the Math textbooks for grades 1, 2, and 3, supporting teachers in delivering the content in a clearer and more engaging manner. The results show that incorporating games into teaching offers numerous benefits, including the development of critical thinking skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. Furthermore, this approach contributes to enhancing the quality of Math education by making lessons more dynamic and effective, while also encouraging students to actively participate in their learning process and achieve more comprehensive development.
