Designing educational games in teaching grade 3 mathematics to develop logical thinking skills for students in some primary schools, Tuyen Quang Province, Vietnam

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study aims to design educational games integrated into Grade 3 mathematics lessons to develop logical thinking skills for students in several primary schools in Tuyen Quang Province, Vietnam. A mixed-methods approach was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the games through pre- and post-tests on logical thinking, motivation surveys, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers and students. Results indicated significant improvements in students’ logical thinking abilities and motivation toward mathematics learning. The games contributed to creating a dynamic and cooperative learning environment, enhancing student engagement and cognitive development. The findings confirm the role of educational games as effective instructional tools in primary math education and suggest directions for broader application in practice.
