Xadrez e matemática: relações e as vantagens para o aprendizado de matemática

Abstract

This research aims to identify the relationships and analyze the contributions of the chess game to the learning of Mathematics. For this, we sought to describe some relationships between chess and Mathematics, identify how to use the chess game to apply some mathematical content and analyze how the game of chess can represent a gain or a deficit in learning Mathematics. A qualitative bibliographic research was carried out on the works of authors who deal with the relationship between the game of chess and Mathematics and the skills and improvements provided by the game considering the problem of many students having difficulties in learning Mathematics or considering it a difficult science. The analysis of the works revealed that the practice of the chess game has been defined as a great alternative in the mathematical learning process and chess can be a great teacher's tool, showing that the practice of the game can lead to the development of various skills and improvements such as reasoning logic, abstraction, memorization, creativity, etc. and that makes reference to the specific specifications of the BNCC that the student needs to develop throughout Basic Education.
