A importância dos jogos matemáticos no ensino da matemática: métodos para impulsionar o estímulo na hora de ensinar e aprender

Abstract

Considering the possible difficulties that students encounter in the learning process in Mathematics, this study sought to evaluate the use of mathematical games as a strategy to improve the quality of this process. In this way, the proposal was developed in two classes of 6th years of Elementary School II of the José Basson School Unit, a state public school, located in the city of Cocal - PI. Three games were applied, namely Black Jack, also known as "twenty-one", Tangram: Chinese puzzle and the Pythagorean Board. In accordance with the games, the following contents were addressed: addition and multiplication operations, identification of flat geometric figures, identification of perfect squares and identification of predecessor and successor numbers. The games were applied in only one of the classrooms and then it was evaluated whether there was a change in relation to the involvement and performance of the students in relation to the class in which the games were not applied. With the ludic activities, the students are more involved and participating more actively in their training process
