Abstract

As an essential component of mathematical culture, traditional Chinese puzzle games not only embody rich intellectual features but also incorporate mathematical logical thinking. Integrating these ancient games into primary school mathematics classrooms enables a close combination of mathematical knowledge and entertainment, thereby enhancing students’ overall competence. With their diversity, Chinese puzzle games reveal abundant mathematical characteristics such as logical reasoning and geometric aesthetics. Exploring their unique value and concrete implementation in primary mathematics teaching carries significant practical implications.
