This work presents the results of a research that aims to map the digital teaching resources to assist in the teaching of 1st grade equation in the 7th year of Elementary School. Therefore, we carried out a qualitative research in which we surveyed digital teaching resources that had free access and were characterized by approaching the concept of equation. Online digital games were identified that are potentially significant and that can help in learning the 1st degree equation. After analyzing the games, we made the categorizations in order to point out the main characteristics of the games, with the procedural aspect being the most predominant and related to equation solving, followed by the conceptual aspect as the second most predominant, in addition to the emphasis on mental calculation. . We conclude that the digital games analyzed contribute to the assimilation of the concept of equation and its resolution procedure, being necessary for the teacher to discuss the role of the variable and equality to avoid misunderstandings and conceptual errors, as well as to build the digital games, favoring the insertion of the digital culture in Mathematics classes placing them as resources that integrate the teaching-learning process, in addition to developing digital skills present in the subdomains of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPCK).
