Development of Numeracy in Pokémon GO
Abstract
The chapter investigates how the video game Pokémon GO contributes to the development of mathematical skills outside the formal educational context. Through the analysis of game strategies, resource management, and data-based decisions, it is shown that trainers apply and develop numeracy in practical situations. The method used in this study is the reflective phenomenological approach, which allows for a richer and more nuanced understanding of human reality, promoting a continuous dialogue between the researcher and the phenomenon under study. The research highlights the importance of recognizing mathematical learning opportunities in informal contexts and suggests that these experiences significantly complement formal mathematics education. Additionally, it highlights how interaction within the gaming community fosters a collaborative environment that enriches mathematical learning and strategy development based on numerical data.
