Popis: Even though games that focus on the development of logical-mathematical skills aimed at maintaining the attention of children with ADHD currently exist, there are no applications available to learn how to solve mathematical problems. In view of this problem, a serious game was designed and developed to enable children to achieve significant learning in this subject. An evaluation was performed of the interface of a section of the game focusing on the concept of counting. Work was performed with 7 teachers by means of a Wizard of Oz experiment. A CSUQ questionnaire was also used to gather general information on the teachers, such as gender and age. The children’s experience in using the application was also assessed. The study indicates that the current interface is usable, though it requires certain improvements in terms of typography, image design, and color.
