This exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the quality of digital math games by measuring how much the content of a digital game is aligned to the NCTM Content and Process Standards. For this purpose, this study employed a content analysis method. In total, 23 digital mathematics games have been selected and analyzed using an instrument, a codebook, developed from the NCTM Content and Process Standards. The data showed that a variety of game genre have been used in mathematics games. The majority of math game content focuses on Number and Operations standards compared to other NCTM Content Standards. Also, we found that the games analyzed in this study connected to the all NCTM Process Standards. This study could help the stakeholders of mathematics education in determining what digital math games they integrate for students to improve the math content knowledge and by providing criteria to evaluate math game content aligned with NCTM Content and Process Standards.

基于NCTM内容和过程标准的数字数学游戏的内容分析：探索性研究

进行此探索性研究是通过测量数字游戏的内容与NCTM内容和流程标准的匹配程度来评估数字数学游戏的质量。为此，本研究采用了一种内容分析方法。总共选择了23种数字数学游戏，并使用根据NCTM内容和过程标准开发的一种工具（即密码本）进行了分析。数据表明，数学游戏中使用了多种游戏类型。与其他NCTM内容标准相比，大多数数学游戏内容侧重于数字和运营标准。此外，我们发现在这项研究中分析的游戏与所有NCTM流程标准都相关。
