This article presents an Educational Product related with a study developed in the Professional Postgraduate Program in Education at the Master's level at Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul - Campus Erechim. It is a qualitative fieldstudy, which aimed at verifying the students’ cognitive functions related to their attention and memory when playing Online Mathematical Digital Games. To this end, theoretical subsidies related to digital games, Mathematics Education and Cognitive Neuroscience have been elementary. The participants of this studywere volunteer students of the final years from a public elementary school in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, who attended interactive digital game workshops, adequately filmed, with a view to collecting data. These were organized and analyzed from categories relating to cognitive functions of attention and memory.The results of the study show, in this article, the student, to interact with the digital games, keeps attention focused on the mental/sensory activity, making use of working memory and the process of evocation and consolidation of permanent memory, what ensures that these games are allies of learning mathematics.
