The didactic material advances according to the progress of the available media and evolve bringing new visions and foundations to pedagogy. This dissertation is about creating and estimating new didactic options, based on mathematical games, figures and magical squares and introducing them to the mathematics class where they will meet more classical options such as handwriting or more modern options like computers. The first part deals with the theoretical introduction of the concepts to study. We will introduce the magical figures and especially the magic squares to give an overview of their mathematical properties which are useful to generate the material we will present. In the particular case of the magical squares, we will give an historical introduction and present briefly their relation with some other sectors related to the human being, such as arts, psychology or the hobbies and we will add some useful methods to create these magical squares. We will introduce the didactic usefulness of the magical figures in their connexion with some topics of the mathematics secondary programme. We will analyse the different nowadays most used didactic options in the mathematics class and determine which of them will be used as a basis for the material we will create, the exercises that will be done on paper sheets, the use of computers and of the digital boards. The second part of the dissertation deals with the use of the magical figures in the actual education in Czech Republic as education options, the same way textbooks or digital devices are used with educational purpose. Moreover, we will have a look at already existing material on the education web of another country: Spain. We will present the didactic material we generated on paper sheets and digitally and we will check its usefulness in the educational system both in Czech Republic and in Spain and see if it creates motivation on the students.
