The application of game theory in teaching mathematics on the topic of special numbers measuring the central tendency of non-grouped data in order to enhance the effectiveness of students’ group cooperation

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of game theory in mathematics teaching, with a particular focus on the topic of measures of central tendency for ungrouped data. The objective of the study is to design a game-theory-based instructional process and to enhance the quality of mathematics learning through the integration of information technology. The paper presents methods for lesson design that incorporate game theory principles, along with sample lesson plans used to assess students’ learning outcomes and group collaboration through experimental research. The findings indicate that the use of game theory in teaching not only deepens students’ understanding of mathematical concepts but also improves their information technology application skills.
