O lúdico e a matemática: a utilização de materiais concretos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de geometria plana na educação básica

Abstract

The use of concrete materials in students' learning in the classroom is an important instrument in the teaching-learning process and one of the most used methodologies in current years. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze articles whose object of study is the use of playful concrete materials in the teaching of plane geometry in basic education, in order to identify the contribution of these resources to the assimilation of this mathematical subject, from a integrative analysis. To select the articles, a search was carried out on the digital platforms of Capes, Athens, Brazilian Society for Teaching Mathematics (SBEM), Electronic Mathematics Magazine (Remat) and Educational Development Program Notebooks (PDE), with a time frame of 2015 to 2021. Once the search was completed, only five of the 20 articles were used for data production, since only these five articles met the objective proposed by this work. Data analysis was based on studies by authors including Borin (2002), Lorenzato (2009), the National Curriculum Parameters – PCN (1997), Guirado et al. (2010) and Almeida (1995). To summarize it, after the analysis, it was found that the use of concrete materials in the teaching of plane geometry is essential, since many students, when using a manipulative material, are able to relate what was seen in the classroom with their daily lives.
