O jogo no aprendizado do plano cartesiano

Abstract

Learning the Cartesian plane provides the development of skills to manipulate coordinate axes of the plane and the understanding and interpretation of graphical representations of functions, among other concepts (DIAS and MACEDO, 2020; NASCIMENTO, 2011). Association of algebra and geometry requires prior appropriation of these contents, constituting a difficulty if they have not been apprehended in a significant way. In agreement with the BNCC (2018), Smole, Diniz and Milani (2007) among others, we understand that learning must be built from differentiated, dynamic, interactive and collaborative methodological strategies such as the use of games. Kishimoto (2017) postulates that by playing the student has the opportunity to solve problems, investigate, building their own knowledge, based on relationships between game elements and mathematical concepts. From this perspective, this study aimed to analyze methodological proposals that use the game to learn the Cartesian plane, using bibliographic research as a methodological strategy. Lakatos and Marconi (2003), Gil (2008) and Severino (2017) show that bibliographic research aims to gather knowledge on a topic through a scientific investigation of published works. The research was described, discussed and analyzed, in the four proposals that used the game as methodological strategies in the learning of the Cartesian plan. They were: treasure hunt (LUIZ, 2007), naval battle (FERNANDES et al, 2012), chess (CAVALCANTI, BEZERRA, 2020) and board game: PlanCarter (DIAS, MACEDO, 2020). The analysis of the results showed that the games provide the student with an understanding of the coordinates of the Cartesian plane, contributing to the construction of other mathematical concepts. They demonstrated that meaningful learning favors the student's cognitive development, enabling the construction of concepts of the Cartesian plane in a fun and enjoyable way. Finally, we verified that the contextualized activities proposed with the use of games, not only as an aid tool, but as a learning strategy, enabled the development of elementary concepts of the Cartesian plane.
