The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of the use of games and didactic games, especially in the initial teaching of mathematics. We explain the connection between the didactics and the curriculum as well as the types of didactic games and the ways in which they can be used in mathematics teaching. The research part of the paper is based on the results of the questionnaire on the application of didactic games in mathematics teaching. The research, which was conducted among 274 primary school teachers, sought to determine whether didactic games are used in mathematics teaching and which games they use most often. Also, attitudes about the advantages and disadvantages of the didactic game in teaching and how the game affects the student in the educational process were examined. Teachers also had the opportunity to comment on how they can change the use of didactic games and materials. The research problem states that primary school teachers use didactic games in their teaching and try to keep up with the times. Furthermore, research has proven that play is very important to students because it motivates them for teaching content, and they also become more active participants in the educational process.
