Utilização de jogos na aprendizagem da equação do 1° grau

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to analyze the use of games in Mathematics classes, seeking a way to facilitate the teaching-learning process of the equation of the first degree. This work was carried out with students from the Youth and Adult Education of a State Public Education Unit of the city of Teresina Piauí, in which activities were carried out in the classroom, through a diagnostic questionnaire. Faced with the difficulties presented by the students in understanding the first grade equations, a differentiated approach was adopted with the use of games in which four types of games were used: domino, deck, board and roulette, then application of a questionnaire. As a basis for the study, we adopted some theorists who discuss the subject as: Alves, Borin, Brazil (1998), Lara, Smole, Starepravo. The research had a qualitative approach with the data analysis and the interpretation of the data based on the theoretical reference of the research. Being that the research was of field with the data collection done by the researcher in the resolutions of the questionnaires and in the uses of the games by the students. The methodology adopted in this work is justified in the theories having as main objective to show in an applied form the use of games to solve problem.
