A matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental : dificuldade de ensino - aprendizagem e metodologias auxiliares para o docente

Abstract

This study explores the importance of mathematics in the early years of Elementary School I and assesses various teaching methodologies aimed at overcoming the difficulties faced by students. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identified effective strategies that can significantly improve both teaching and learning of mathematics. The research highlighted the essentiality of mathematics for children's cognitive development, emphasizing skills such as logical reasoning and problem-solving. We discussed promising methodologies, including the use of manipulative materials, educational games, and problem-solving, which create a more engaging and accessible learning environment. Furthermore, the integration of educational technologies emerged as a valuable resource, providing interactive and adaptive learning experiences. The study also underscored the importance of continuous teacher training for the effective implementation of these methodologies. We conclude that, despite ongoing challenges, the strategies examined offer viable paths to overcome barriers in mathematics teaching, suggesting the need for adapting these approaches according to the specificities of each educational context
