Abstract
This paper introduces two Mathematics Education experiments based on Role-Playing Games (RPG). In the first study, we investigated how the construction and application of Electronic RPGs can contribute to teaching and learning Whole Numbers; in the second one, we used Online RPGs in Distance Education to analyze how the construction of online identities is applicable to the teaching and learning of Definite Integrals. We describe both research studies, their participants, procedures, theoretical references, future trends and final results. For the first investigation, we present the results on multiplication of Negative Whole Numbers and their relationship to everyday life; the results related to the second experiment relate to the virtual presence of online identities created and their relationship to the learning process. We demonstrate the playful aspect inherent in the construction and application of computer games as a powerful tool in learning mathematics.
