In this study, the mind and intelligence games of the Turkish Federation of Mind and Intelligence Games used in Intelligence Games Education in Teacher Educators is analysed for primary school mathematics curriculum learning outcomes. This study uses a document analysis model among qualitative research methods. Descriptive analysis method among qualitative data analysis techniques was applied for data analysis. The study results show that mind and intelligence games are included in the curriculum of the Ministry of National Education (MEB) in 2013. In the following years, the subject received interest to investigate its contributions to the education field. When it is considered that the mind and intelligence games have a positive impact on primary school mathematics class learning outcomes, the experimental studies will greatly contribute to this field. It is believed that intelligence games that are investigated for different class levels, primary school mathematics curriculum and sub-learning fields should be included more in the class environment. This study might recommend that skills aimed for the mathematics class might be offered based on intelligence games when the curriculum is considered based on activities.
Purpose: In this study, the Turkish Federation of Mind and Intelligence Games used in Intelligence Games Education in Teacher
Educators are analyzed for primary school mathematics curriculum learning outcomes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses a document analysis model among qualitative research methods. The
descriptive analysis method among qualitative data analysis techniques was applied for data analysis.
Findings: As a result of the research, it was determined that the most outcomes and game matches were in the 1st grade; mind
and intelligence games mostly matched with outcomes in learning areas of numbers and operations and geometry; It is seen
that the outcomes under the sub-learning domains Spatial Relations, Geometric Objects and Shapes, Natural Numbers match
more with the game contents.
Highlights: The study results show that mind and intelligence games were included in the Ministry of National Education
(MoNE) curriculum in 2013. In the following years, the subject received interest in investigating its contributions to the
education field. This study might recommend that skills aimed for the mathematics class might be offered based on intelligence
games when the curriculum is considered based on activities.
