Insights from Educational Neuroscience and Serious Games in Math Learning presents how educational games can transform math education, also including support on the latest research in neuroscience. The book addresses challenges faced by educators in selecting the right games and highlights the key characteristics that promote student growth. With contributions from educators, psychologists, and game developers, each chapter is clearly written with a goal of engaging the reader in making complex ideas easy to understand. Topics include early math skills, spatial cognition, the impact of anxiety on learning, and the development of dyscalculia, along with insights on technology’s role in the classroom.

Sections also examine the impact of AI in education and present strategies for effectively implementing serious games. By connecting neuroscience and gaming, this book helps teachers enhance their teaching methods and provides developers with guidance for creating impactful educational experiences. This resource is essential for anyone looking to harness the potential of serious games to improve math learning in diverse educational settings.

Explores innovative methodologies that integrate serious games into traditional math curricula for enhanced learning outcomes
Analyzes the cognitive processes involved in math learning to design more effective educational interventions
Evaluates the impact of emotional factors on student performance in mathematics and how games can mitigate anxiety
Investigates the role of cultural contexts in the design and implementation of math games, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all learners

Dr Flavia H. Santos is an awardee of the prestigious UCD Ad Astra Fellowship (2019-2024) and an Assistant Professor at the School of Psychology since 2018. Dr Santos is an active neuroscientist at the UCD Affective, Behavioural and Cognitive Neuroscience, developing innovative translational research on neurodevelopmental disorders. She is mainly focused on numerical cognition development and factors that affect its functioning such as math's anxiety. Dr Santos has a strong interest in how Music Science interact with emotion and cognition. She has carried out studies on interventions to stimulate and remediate mathematical performance using musical training and computerised tasks. At the School of Psychology, she leads the Music and Math Cognition Group, featured at the UCD Discovery Rising Star. Dr Santos is also a member of the UCD Childhood and Human Development Research Centre. She has several peer-reviewed articles in neuroscience, also she authored and edited six books in the field of neuropsychology and rehabilitation. Her research is focused on Sustainable Developmental Goals, SDG 3 (Health and Well-being) and SDG4 (Quality Education). She also advocates for SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG10 (Reduce Inequalities). Dr. Erika Galea is a leading expert in Educational Neuroscience and Human Development, with over two decades of experience in the education sector. Her extensive background spans roles as a teacher, senior leader in independent schools, examiner, and consultant to a wide range of educational stakeholders. Erika’s unique ability to connect with students, educators, parents, and policymakers has made her a prominent figure in bridging scientific research with real-world educational practice.With a Ph.D. in Psychology and Human Development from UCL and a Master’s in Educational Leadership specializing in Distributed Leadership from Leicester, Erika’s work is rooted in evidence-based strategies that align neuroscientific insights with teaching and learning outcomes. She specializes in applying brain science principles to improve learning, leadership, and workplace practices.
