    Difficulties in learning fractions are common in basic education due to the complexity of their procedures and the low motivation generated by traditional methodologies. In this context, gamified educational video games emerge as an interactive and dynamic alternative. The objective of this research was to develop and implement the initial module of the gamified video game Aventura Numeral to validate its effectiveness as a teaching resource for fraction multiplication. The methodology adopted a quantitative approach, a quasi experimental design, and a descriptive-validative scope, working with a sample of 20 fifth-grade students of Basic General Education at an educational institution in Cuenca, Ecuador. For data collection, a pretest and posttest, an observation sheet, and a teacher questionnaire using a Likert scale were applied. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 4.25 to 5.30 points, representing a 25% improvement compared to the initial assessment and a reduction in student errors. Furthermore, favorable levels of autonomy, motivation, persistence, and acceptance of the video game were observed among both students and the teacher. It is concluded that the implemented initial module constitutes a viable alternative that successfully integrates gamification, neuroeducation, and mathematical content.
