This study examined the effects of using an online flexible educational game on
students’ attitude towards mathematics as compared to the traditional method of solving
mathematical problems. Moreover, the study assessed the learning effectiveness of the
game and investigated potential gender differences in the game’s effectiveness on
changing students’ attitude. The participants of the study were 79 students who were
randomly assigned to a control and treatment group, as well as four coordinator teachers.
The game was configurable and it was used as a supplementary teaching method. The
intervention lasted 14 weeks and the data collection was based on quantitative measures
and interviews. The results of the analysis indicated that the game approach was effective
on improving students’ attitude towards mathematics and that it also resulted in better
learning outcomes in the treatment group as compared to that of the control group. Furthermore,
it was shown that the gender of the students did not influence the positive effect
of the game on students’ attitude. These results suggest that the incorporation of flexible
games into the traditional teaching of mathematics could possibly bring beneficial effects.
