Summary/Abstract: In this chapter are describe elements of Game-Based Learning (GBL) that can be used to support mathematics teaching using games. After creating a game that incorporates the elements described, the game was play tested against a small number of people who answered a questionnaire focusing on user experience, learning motivation and game design. The results are attached separately as well as the analysis. I believe that with further development this game-based approach can be a powerful tool to gamify common learning tools and increase learning motivation and appreciation.
