A gamificação como ferramenta de ensino na matemática

Abstract

The aim of this work is to address the effectiveness of gamification as a teaching tool in mathematics, seeking to understand how gamification can be applied as a pedagogical strategy to increase student engagement and learning, especially in challenging content such as the study of fractions. The methodology adopted involves the application of gamified activities in the classroom, using playful elements such as challenges and rewards in order to create a stimulating environment. The results obtained indicate that gamification, when well planned, provides greater interest in students, contributing to the development of their problem-solving skills. During the process, it was observed that the introduction of gamification also requires pedagogical planning to balance the playful elements with th learning objectives. When applied intentionally, gamification is an innovative and effective tool for teaching mathematics, transforming the teaching process into a more interactive experience and helping students to overcome their need to understand the content. Finally, it can be concluded that gamification is an effective strategy for teaching mathematics, providing a creative and innovative alternative to increase student interest and aid learning
