Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: The systematic literature review presented here records those studies intending to investigate improving students' mathematical skills using chess as an educational tool. From a total of 53 studies (another 52 with goals in addition to mathematics were excluded), 12 were finally chosen which fulfilled the following additional conditions: i) having been published exclusively in a scientific journal and ii) having been carried out during school hours and divided using specific individual criteria which are referred to analytically. The study concludes that with the aid of chess, teachers can help students solve mathematical and other types of problems while suggesting areas that require further investigation.
