O jogo tabuleiro das equações como instrumento facilitador do ensino e aprendizagem de equações

Abstract

Mathematics is still considered by many to be the most difficult subject and the most difficult to understand, especially in high school. Therefore, the use of tools that help the teaching/learning process is of fundamental importance in current education. Thus, the present work has as main objective to present a game for the Teaching of Mathematics for High School, entitled as Board of Equations. In this way, it is intended to analyze the potential and limitations of the game as well as to understand if in fact it can be seen as a tool that can be used in the teaching-learning process, whose purpose is to motivate students to understand what a high school equation is. identifying their coefficients, solving mathematical problems in a creative and fun way on the contents related to this theme. The methodology adopted in the research is qualitative and exploratory. Based on the technical investigation procedures the research addresses a case study. The activity was applied to twenty-six second year high school students from a public school in the city of Araçagi. Although a more detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using the game “Tabuleiros da Equações” can be found in the body of this work, it can be said that the activity presented quite satisfactory results in relation to its use as a tool to aid in the study of 2nd degree equations, and can even be adapted to other mathematical content.
