Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to compare mathematical skills of early childhood children who used educational management game activities of 75 percent from the total scores, 2) to compare mathematical skills of early childhood children before and after using educational management game activities. The sample group in this research consisted of 21 male and female students age between 3-4 years old, who were studying in kindergarten 1, during semester 1, academic year 2023 at Somapa school, Bangkok. The samples were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) 8 activity plans to improve math skills using experiential activities, and 2) Mathematical skills ability test with 20 items. The data were analyzed by basic statistics namely mean, standard deviation, and t-test (Purposive Sampling). The research findings were as follows: The early childhood children who used educational management game activities have mathematical skills higher than before the activities.
