Contribuições dos jogos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem das frações no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work aimed to investigate and understand how mathematical games can contribute to the teaching and learning of fractions in elementary school, making this content more accessible and meaningful for students. The teaching of fractions is often seen as difficult and challenging for students, so games can be an efficient pedagogical strategy to motivate students to learn and enjoy mathematics. For information collection, a qualitative bibliographic research was conducted. In the literature review, a search was made for articles, books, theses, and dissertations that address the use of games in teaching fractions, exploring their contributions to the teaching and learning process. Based on the analysis of the researched material, we can observe that games can contribute to the teaching and learning of fractions, as they stimulate the creation of strategies, logical reasoning, and analytical thinking, essential skills for understanding fractions.
