Metaestudio sobre beneficios matemáticos.

En National Geographic:  Este es el efecto que produce en el cerebro de los niños 10 minutos de juegos de mesa (21 enero 2026 - Daniel Pellicer Roig)

Los juegos de mesa que requieren contar números pueden aumentar las capacidades matemáticas en menores de 7 años.

como muestra un metaestudio del Instituto para las Prácticas Educativas Basadas en la Evidencia de la Universidad de Oregon (UO) que recoge 18 artículos. Solo 10 minutos de jugar a estos juegos con niños menores de 7 años pueden tener beneficios a muy largo plazo, ya que ayudan a aterrizar los conceptos matemáticos en la mente de los pequeños.

El metaestudio Investigating Main Effects and Moderators of Linear Number Board Games: A Meta-Analytic Review está realizado por Gena Nelson & Peter Boedeker & Brianna L. Devlin & Taylor Lesner & Kevallyn R. Drake & Marah Sutherland & Emily J. Wilke & Madison Cook & Sara A. Schmitt.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis and review of studies reporting the quality of linear number board games. This meta-analysis included 18 preschool to second-grade studies with 123 effect sizes that yielded a statistically significant summary effect (g = .21, 95% CI (.08, 0.34), p = .004) on children’s mathematics outcomes. Nine moderators explained a statistically significant amount of variance in effect sizes, including the following broad categories: publication type, intervention dosage, other game player, control condition, outcome measure characteristics, and characteristics of the number board. Studies met 61% of study-reporting quality indicators, and analyses revealed that quality did not significantly moderate treatment effects. The results of this study offer several recommendations for researchers in developing and continuing to test the effects of linear number board games, as well as educators and parents who may use the games in their classrooms and homes with young children.
