A importância dos jogos no ensino da matemática

Abstract

The games used as a teaching tool for the study of mathematics are of paramount importance, since they can provide better performance in learning the content, in addition to stimulating interest, enthusiasm and the pleasure of studying. In this perspective, the present study aimed to demonstrate the importance of using games in math classes in elementary school, as well as showing that this tool as a didactic resource can significantly help in the development and learning of the student. The method used in this research was bibliographic research, with a qualitative approach, of an exploratory type, in which information was sought in books, articles, dissertations, theses, among others. We base our work on the ideas of the authors Starepravo (2009), Smole et al. (2007), Grando (1995, 2000). Therefore, it was found that the application of games in the teaching of mathematics, in addition to reducing the block presented by students who fear mathematics, and feel unable to understand it, provides a meaningful learning, creating several possibilities for them the student can learn and understand mathematics in a simpler and more pleasurable way, developing the student's skills, abilities and logical reasoning.
