At the end of the research, the performance of the experimentgroup increased, while there was no change in their attitudes against mathematics. The games andthe activities practiced within the research have been shown to have a positive impact on students.The stagnation in the attitude of the students against mathematics is estimated to be caused bythe shortage of time allocated for the study and the articulation inability of students.
