O Uso Do Sudoku Como Ferramenta De Ensino-Aprendizagem Em Matemática: Uma Revisão Bibliográfica

Abstract

In the contemporary educational context, the search for innovative pedagogical strategies that stimulate students' understanding and interest in disciplines such as Mathematics is constant. This Undergraduate Thesis (TCC) investigates the use of Sudoku as a teaching-learning tool, exploring its potential, advantages, and challenges. Through a bibliographic review, focusing on studies published from 2011 onwards and updated to include recent research (2020-2025), it was analyzed how Sudoku promotes logical reasoning, problem-solving, and student engagement. The adopted methodology was qualitative bibliographic research, using databases such as Google Scholar and SciELO. The results indicate that Sudoku is a valuable resource due to its ability to make mathematical concepts more tangible and accessible, in addition to developing cognitive and socio-emotional skills. However, the need for teacher training and a complementary integration into the curriculum for its effective application is highlighted. It is concluded that Sudoku represents a promising strategy for improving the teaching-learning of Mathematics, contributing to a more dynamic and meaningful education
