Tangram: Auxílio na aprendizagem da geometria plana nas turmas do 6º ano da localidade Agrovila Jacaré

Abstract

The Tangram is a puzzle of Chinese origin composed of seven pieces in geometric format, which consists of the following rules: there cannot be overlapping pieces in its assembly, nor should there be excess. Thus, as it is a game that works with mathematical concepts, with an emphasis on Plane Geometry, it is understood that the use of Tangram in the classroom can alleviate the difficulties faced by students with regard to learning this area of mathematics. This project aims to analyze the effectiveness of using Tangram for students' understanding of contents related to Plane Geometry. For this, a school unit of the municipal network in the rural area of Coc~al - PI will be chosen, in which a questionnaire will be applied to students and teachers of that school about the use of playful means in mathematics classes, in particular , the Tangram. After this information collection, the study will move on to the second stage: which will consist of a demonstrative class for teachers on how to operate the game correctly, in addition to running a game making workshop. And, finally, an analysis will be carried out, where it will be verified if the use of the game is effective or not. In view of this, it is expected to show, through this work, the main difficulties presented by elementary school students in the rural area of Cocal-PI content of Plane Geometry and to ratify the relevance of the applicability of concrete materials as aids in the teaching and learning process of math
