Özet:

In this study, it is aimed to examine the kenken game, which is a game type from the reasoning and operation games unit in the mind games lesson curriculum, in terms of the learning outcomes in the middle school mathematics curriculum, based on teachers' opinions. For this reason, only the opinions of primary school mathematics teachers were analyzed. The study group consists of 12 primary school mathematics teachers working in 6 public schools in Ankara and Kırıkkale provinces. Case study from qualitative research methods is used in this research. Since a layered curriculum is applied in the Intelligence Games Curriculum, the games are prepared at three levels. 6 Kenken Games suitable for the three levels specified are prepared from easy to difficult. The teachers played the game after the rules were explained and the opinions of the teachers were taken with the interview questions prepared regarding the achievements of the Kenken Game. After the interviews with the teachers, the data were analyzed with qualitative techniques. The audio recordings of the interviews were listened to and converted into written texts. The "content analysis" technique, one of the qualitative analysis approaches, was used to determine the repeating codes and themes in teachers' expressions. As a result of the study, it was determined that the teachers found the kenken game entertaining and wanted to play it in their lessons. Teachers stated that the kenken game is a game in which students can use for processing skills fluently.
