ABSTRACT Apart from being used as a means of entertainment, computer games have been adopted for a long time as a valuable tool for learning. Computer games can offer many learning benefits to students since they can consume their attention and increase their motivation and engagement which can then lead to stimulate learning.

Many researches show that technology-supported teaching is effective in concretizing abstract concepts. In this study, it was examined how pre-service mathematics teachers relate the definitions of concepts...
