Abstract
This paper aims at discussing the theoretical basis as well as the pedagogical potential of using games in teaching mathematics at high schools. A study on the literature, namely international publications pertaining to this topic, enables us to confirm the role of Mathematical Games and Games for Teaching Mathematics - hereinafter referred to as Educational Games for Teaching Mathematics (EGTMs). We have also collected, tested and annotated 26 games in order to initiate a supporting library of EGTMs for interested colleagues.
