Jogos matemáticos e resolução de problemas no campo aditivo: qual a contribuição?

Abstract

The present work that had as theme Mathematical Games and Problem Solving in the Additive Field: what is the contribution? originated through a research project, involving the performance of two Pedagogy students - UFPB, in teaching situations, in a school of the municipal network of João Pessoa. The general objective was to analyze the importance of games and problem solving as a facilitator in the process of teaching and learning of students, with respect to the additive field (addition and subtraction). For the construction of this work, we rely on some theorists, such as Alves (2009); Diniz (2001); Grando (2004); Gueros, Agranionih, Zimer (2014); Lopes (2014); Moretti and Souza (2015); Muniz (2014); Nunes et.al (2005); Pozo and Echeverría (1998); Stancanelli (2001); Spinillo and Magina (2004), who discuss the importance of games and problem solving as a methodology for teaching mathematics. The methodology used was through a qualitative research, in which games and activities involving the Problem Solving and the Additive Field were applied to a 4th grade "B" class from a public school in João Pessoa. Thus, this work sought to contribute in the teaching - learning process of mathematics, in the early years, through mathematical games and problem solving, differentiating itself from the traditional and mechanical method, thus enabling the formation of critical citizens, prepared to attend the new educational requirements. In addition to form theoretically and methodologically students of the course of pedagogy.
