O uso de alguns jogos como facilitadores para ensino e aprendizagem em matemática

Abstract

The present work was developed with 16 students of the sixth year of elementary school enrolled at the José Bason School Unit, a school located in the center of the city of Cocal-Piauí. In order to reduce the educational gaps of the participating students and collaborate with the use of facilitating materials and resources, three games or support materials were presented: the chess game, the ASMD game and the equations bingo. The activities that were part of the study were carried out from November to December 2019 at the aforementioned school, consisting of three stages or phases performed with the group of students participating in the study. The developed stages were constituted by: first phase or diagnostic and leveling phase, second phase or pedagogical intervention phase and third phase or student learning verification. During the study, learning difficulties were investigated in Mathematics, which were found during the first phase of the study through a questionnaire applied to students, educational lags in basic operations, calculation of equations, rooting and potentiation. In the second phase, games and materials were worked in the classroom in an attempt to improve and reduce the greatest difficulties of students in recreational and practical activities. In the third phase, there were improvements in the results of the students in tests which contained the same contents of the first phase, in addition to the development of skills and social competences in a qualitative manner. At the end of the study, we believe in the collaboration of this work and activities carried out with regard to the learning and understanding of students in the search to contribute to the development of Mathematics education in the municipality
