Abstract
Motivation is the main factor of teaching and encouragement that increases student activity, their interest and willingness to learn. Motivation is a process that should be initiated by the teacher, to motivate means to encourage internal resources of individuals, their sense of skill, respect, autonomy and self-realization. An essential factor which affects students’ motivation is the game. The game as an activity that is accomplished in math classes is the best way to awaken interest in learning. The attitudes and opinions of lower primary teachers in elementary schools regarding game activities as motivators in math classes are one of the key indicators for the effect of their implementation. The survey sample consists of 123 surveyed teachers (who in the 2014/2015 school year lecture in the first, second and third grade) from nine elementary schools from Skopje with its surroundings. The research results will help teachers’ self-awareness about the importance and impact of games as motivators in math classes. Hopefully the results of this research are to push creativity and advancement of seeking the ideal model to motivate students to mathematics.
