A contribuição da prática do jogo de xadrez na construção do conhecimento matemático: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Teaching mathematics for years has been regarded as a mechanical procedure with all those repetitions, memorizations. Today, new instruments are needed so that teaching becomes something more attractive and meaningful, in turn, games 1have been gaining more space in the educational environment, showing that they can be a facilitator in the construction of knowledge. The use of games has been adopted in an interdisciplinary way for teaching, so it can be present in teaching in different ways. The game of chessin turn, has already made it clear that it can be an ally of mathematics education, bringing with it a series of benefits, and skills that can be developed from its practice. From then on, it is remarkable that this instrument becomes relevant to the educational practice of the teacher, as it facilitates the student's understanding when used properly.Thus, this literature review aims to analyze how the game of chess can contribute to mathematical learning, being a bibliographical study and having made a detailed analysis of studies taken from renowned platforms such as PROFMAT and academic google, which were transcribed in tables for a better view and discussion on the topic, year of publication, type of study, objective, and conclusion. We conclude then that games are instruments that, when applied correctly, can contribute to the construction of knowledge, and that the practice of chess can be an ally for solid mathematical learning
