    In the current educational field, playful strategies emerge as an innovative and versatile option to enrich students' learning experiences. These strategies aim to transform the traditional educational process, making it more dynamic, engaging, and meaningful for learners. One of the most prominent methodologies in this context is gamification, which involves turning academic activities into exciting and rewarding challenges, emulating characteristics of games. This methodology has proven particularly effective in capturing students' attention and improving both their academic performance and their attitude towards subjects traditionally perceived as difficult, such as mathematics. This study evaluated the impact of gamification on teaching basic operations to thirdyear primary education students. Its main objective was to determine whether this methodology could significantly enhance not only academic outcomes but also students' motivation and interest in mathematical learning. To achieve this, a preexperimental design with two groups was adopted, allowing for a comparison of the effects of a gamified intervention. The research combined quantitative and qualitative approaches, relying on an exhaustive literature review and direct classroom observation. Statistical tools, such as the Student's t-test and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, were used to analyze the collected data. The sample consisted of 28 thirdyear students divided into two groups: "A" and "B." The results revealed that several technological tools, such as WordWall, Educaplay, Kahoot, and Gynzy, played a key role in fostering interactive learning. The implementation of gamified activities in the educational setting increased student participation and motivation, having a positive impact on the learning process. It is recommended to promote equitable access to these tools and provide continuous training to teachers and students, thus ensuring an effective and meaningful use of educational technologies.
