Jogos matemáticos no ensino do campo aditivo: diversão e aprendizagem

Abstract

The present work presents a reflection about the implications of the mathematical game in the teaching of the additive field with the intention of arousing interest and overcoming difficulties in mathematical calculation and registration. The study aimed to analyze mathematical games as a facilitating tool in the teaching and learning process, since the game helps in the execution of operations, in the resolutions of problem situations, promoting the correct registration of addition and subtraction operations, involving the students in the process. The method was based on the realization of pedagogical experiences (with games and activities) in order to diagnose and also to investigate the difficulties presented in the additive field (addition and subtraction), toward develop experiences that facilitate the understanding of algorithms and thinking mathematical. In view of the results obtained two points are merit reflection: the first is if the teaching of mathematics is leading the student to interpret problem situations and the second is to know how concepts that require mathematical thinking are presented, what materials or resources are being constructed, adapted and applied according to the students needs? Therefore, it is up to the teacher to adopt a problematizing profile that is capable of stimulating in students the interest for the discipline.
