Abstract

In recent years, technology has transformed education through ICT and artificial intelligence, enabling more interactive, personalized, and student-centered learning environments. Mathematics is essential for developing logical thinking, problem-solving, and STEM-related skills; however, many students struggle due to traditional teaching methods that often lead to low motivation and math anxiety. Gamification and AI offer an effective alternative by increasing engagement and adapting learning to each student's needs, particularly for children aged 8–10. In Ecuador, there is limited research on platforms that combine these technologies to strengthen logical-mathematical thinking. Therefore, this study analyzes the performance and participation of students using the MATUTC platform, examining indicators of achievement, persistence, and progression associated with the development of logical-mathematical skills
