Jogos matemáticos nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: contribuições ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem de alunos/as

Abstract

The present Course Completion Work – TCC, titled "Mathematical Games in the Early Years of Elementary School: Contributions to the Learning Process of Students," constitutes a qualitative research with an intervention proposal carried out in a 3rd-grade class of Elementary School in a public school in the municipality of Jacaraú. The general objective of the research was to conduct a study on mathematical games and their contributions to the learning process of students. The specific objectives were: to identify how mathematics teaching occurs in the early years of elementary school; to identify which mathematical games are used in early elementary school classrooms; and to present an intervention proposal with mathematical games as a methodological possibility. The intervention proposal involved the development and implementation of a didactic sequence composed of mathematical games. The research indicated that teaching mathematics through games enhances students' learning, promotes social interaction and teamwork, and serves as an effective methodological tool for cognitive development and student engagement in math classes.
