Mathematics without doubt remains very important to all disciplines in the fields of human work and other studies. It plays a significant role in the development of both individuals and nations. As rapidly evolving technological applications, games and simulations are widely integrated in the traditional educational process. There are extensive literature exploring the potential learning benefits offered by game, which can be used to deliver, support, and enhance teaching, learning, assessment, and evaluation. Simulations as well creates a scenario-based environment, where students interact to apply previous knowledge and practical skills to real-world problems. Simulation game is a game-based strategy that can be used for teaching and learning at any level of education. It is an excellent supplement to the standard lecture. The study concluded that virtual simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, gaming strategies are used to execute the virtual simulation in teaching of mathematics in various schools. One of the recommendations was that it is pertinent for educators to explore the feasibility of using a game format to supplement or even replace the teaching of a variety of subjects.
