O uso de jogos virtuais no ensino-aprendizagem de frações no ensino médio

Abstract

This article aims to communicate the actions of the research project “The use of virtual games in the teaching-learning of fractions” in high school, which aims to use virtual games as a facilitator of the teaching-learning process of the mathematics component. The application took place in the 1st and 2nd grades of high school at the José Basson School Unit in Cocal/Piauí. We specifically addressed the content of fractions. Aiming to apply and evaluate how the resource helps in the promotion of differentiated and dynamic classes, and, if it constitutes a facilitator that results in a greater interest on the part of the students. Games are agents that stimulate the reasoning and cognitive abilities of the individual who plays. That said, we used two digital games “Children’s Mathematics” and “Fraction Challenges” found and available for download in the “play store” application store for Android phones, tablets and notebooks. Students had free choice regarding the type of technological device and which game to use. Based on the presented criteria, we evaluated the learning conditions for the mathematics subject component
