In this work it is presented an exhibition of mathematical games named EureKit. This exhibition has fifteen mathematical games and its main goal is to connect some mathematical areas with physical or virtual games. To understand the students´ perceptions and their attitudes towards mathematics and educational games it was applied a questionnaire to 391 students from a high school located in a Portuguese town. With the obtained data we present, in this work, some statistical analysis and preliminary conclusions. With this survey we may indicate that students have the perception that playing games is helpful for their comprehension of the subjects presented in Mathematic class.
