Abstract
This research explored the serendipitous learning of mathematics in a group of Further Education students, after mathematics elements were embedded into the lessons. Data was gathered from students studying a Computer Games Design course. The data was gathered using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings indicated that students’ view of mathematics had changed to a more positive one in a positive direction and some students learned mathematics during this process. The data analysis showed has shown that stealth
embedding mathematics within a games design unit helped to deal with barriers to engaging and learning mathematics.
