As quatro operações básicas da matemática: um estudo com alunos do 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental em uma escola estadual de São Raimundo Nonato – PI

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of students in the 7th year of elementary school at a school in the state network of São Raimundo Nonato-PI in relation to the four basic operations of Mathematics. The study was based on theorists such as Grando (2015), Ferreira (2013), among others. During the research, observations were carried out in the classroom, followed by the application of a pre test. After applying the pre-test, a workshop was carried out with expository and practical classes, using the game ‘Advanced with the rest’. And finally, the post-test was applied. The results were presented through graphs that allowed the calculation of the number of correct answers and errors, based on data collected in the pre- and post-test, which made it possible to verify the students' performance before and after the intervention carried out during the workshop. Therefore, it was concluded that there was a significant improvement in students' performance in terms of knowledge of the four basic operations of Mathematics after the workshop that used the game as a methodological resource, in addition to encouraging interaction between students when solving questions in groups. It is worth mentioning that the results could have been more satisfactory if, at the time of the workshop, all groups had participated, as due to the limited time given to develop the workshop in the classroom, it was not possible for all groups to participate.
