Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the contribution of games in mathematics teaching in the final years of elementary school in the perception of some teachers. In order to achieve this goal, we sought to understand how the use of games in mathematics teaching can facilitate students' learning and can become a great ally of teachers in mathematics teaching, and identify games worked by teachers in teaching. mathematics in the final years of elementary school. To understand how the use of mathematical games related to everyday situations contributes to learning. For this study we used a bibliographic and descriptive research, with qualitative approach, using as a tool for data collection 1 (one) questionnaire with math teachers who teach in elementary school and also with some in high school. Data were analyzed and organized through graphs and charts. After the analysis, we see that teachers recognize the importance of students experimenting with other forms of approach to content that contributes to assimilation. In this sense, we reiterate the importance of using methods such as playfulness in the process of teaching mathematics. Learning mathematics in a playful way is not to waste time, but to awaken in the student a different way of assimilating content through creativity, arousing the interest and understanding of the process that leads to the result, and research contribute to the training of teachers, to reflect on future pedagogical practices within the teaching of mathematics
