This research implements the gamification strategy Kahoot! where through it is demonstrated that it is possible to capture the attention of students, awaken the taste and interest in the topic of rational numbers. It is one of the tools that demonstrates the development of activities in a dynamic and fun way where the teacher can create questionnaires according to the level of difficulty that he/she considers pertinent, it is not only a challenge for the students, it is also a challenge for the teachers since they must be trained in content, pedagogy and technology.
