Uma análise da proposta de uso de jogos nos anos finais do ensino fundamental na área de matemática em uma coleção baseada na BNCC

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to analyze the proposals for educational games present in Mathematics textbooks from a collection aimed at the final years of Elementary School. The collection selected for analysis was authored by Dante and entitled Teláris (2020). Educational games were found in some chapters in all volumes from the 6th to the 9th grade of Elementary School in the collection. This research work was qualitative and bibliographic in nature, and was based on theoretical texts by researchers who discuss the use of games in teaching Mathematics, in addition to the BNCC document and the National Curricular Parameters for Mathematics. Regarding the research results found in the aforementioned books, they are all games that involve cards, dice, board games, or other material resources, but no indication of the use of online games was found. In the collection for the 6th to 9th grades, the author indicates the use of 12 different games, constituting a relatively small number of games in relation to the amount of content covered in the four volumes. According to the author, all the games used in the collection are linked to BNCC skills. The proposed games are easy to make and use, and in some of these games the author suggests modifications, but few in-depth problematizations. In addition, most involve direct mathematical calculations and do not explore problem-solving or contextualizations to everyday life or other areas of knowledge.
