Jogos geométricos no ensino da matemática básica: levantamento bibliográfico

Abstract

Geometric games develop fundamental skills in the teaching-learning process of students, given the need for new knowledge where the student is an active participant in the construction of their own understanding. In light of this, the present study focuses on the application of educational geometric games in basic mathematics teaching. The following general objective was chosen: to conduct a literature review to analyze students' learning of mathematics content in light of methodologies that utilize the application of geometric games in the classroom. The specific objectives are: to identify geometric games in the teaching of basic mathematics through a literature review; to recognize the importance of geometric games in mathematics teaching based on bibliographic studies; and to reflect on the results of geometric games in the teaching-learning process of basic mathematics. For this study, a bibliographic research method with a qualitative approach was used. The results demonstrated that when playful materials are transformed into games, it is possible to engage students in wanting to win, thus motivating them to study more, in addition to fostering teamwork and communication. Therefore, it is concluded that geometric games are indeed important tools that aid in the teaching-learning process of students in basic mathematics.
