Atividades lúdicas como estratégia para o ensino de frações no 6°Ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The BNCC highlights the identification of the decimal system in the final years of Elementary School, requiring understanding in complex situations. This article aims to understand how the use of playful activities, such as games and recreational tasks, impacts the learning of mathematical operations with rational numbers in the 6th grade of Elementary School. It is a qualitative action-research conducted with students and the teacher from a municipal school in Nossa Senhora de Nazaré-PI. The data collection instruments were: a pre-test applied to the students, a questionnaire for the teacher, direct classroom observation, a didactic sequence, and a post-test questionnaire. The results show that the use of playful activities had favorable impacts not only on the improvement of student performance but also on a greater connection with the content. Therefore, it is concluded that it is relevant to use innovative and dynamic methods in the teaching of mathematics, especially on topics that are usually complex for students, such as fractions.
