Because reasoning ability is a high-level cognitive abilities, it is not difficult to find the difficulty of promoting it in today''s teaching spots. At present, there is no definite training methods for the inference ability on education, which also increases the learning difficulties of students. Hence this research takes the advantages of digital games to investigate the influence of adventure games of digital games on the reasoning ability of elementary school students, in order to reinforce the deficiency of teaching as well as the relationship between their reasoning ability and their mathematics achievement. In this research, Quasi-Experimental Method was used to study 62 fifth-grade students. The research tools were Raven''s Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and primary mathematics achievement test. After 5 weeks of experimental study, the results were obtained by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) Statistical Methods: Digital games have a significant effect on the reasoning ability, and Digital games have a positive impact on the mathematics achievement through reasoning ability.
