In recent years, Game-Based Learning (GBL) has emerged as an innovative pedagogical strategy that can enhance student engagement and foster deeper cognitive and metacognitive skills. This research paper explores the potential of GBL in fostering metacognitive skills within the context of Mathematics Education. This paper is an attempt to investigates the need for Integrating GBL to develop metacognitive skills. Empirical studies and practical examples are reviewed to demonstrate the positive impact of GBL on Mathematics learning. Research indicates that GBL not only enhances students’ motivation and engagement but also promotes metacognitive practices by encouraging self-assessment, strategy monitoring, and critical reflection. It discusses how elements inherent in games—such as immediate feedback, structured challenges, and the need for adaptive thinking—create an environment conducive to developing metacognitive skills.. Furthermore, the paper discusses the empirical evidences of GBL in Mathematics Education. Despite its promising potential, the paper also addresses the challenges and barriers in implementing GBL for metacognitive development. In light of various challenges, the paper provides practical practical guidelines for integrating GBL into Mathematics Education. Ultimately, this paper advocates for future directions and research opportunities in integrating GBL in Mathematics Education.
