A importância dos jogos na aprendizagem de matemática no ensino fundamental I

Abstract

The academic work aims to lead educators to rethink the importance of games in learning mathematics in elementary school I, thus describing the importance of play for student learning and teaching how to solve problems in mathematics education. Games represent a good problem situation, with the teacher acting as a mediator who fulfills the pedagogical practice by evaluating students and also proposing good questions, enhancing the ability to understand mathematical facts and concepts. The methodology used was ba- sed on bibliographic research in which some authors show that the application of games in mathematics classes is a possibility that can help students with the difficulties they present. Applying games in mathematics classes is a possibility that can help students with the blockage presented and who fear mathematics and feel unable to interpret pro- blems. Games are a pedagogical resource that structures thinking and reasoning, and are important for solving problems and calculations; students learn through play, being a new concept of learning and interaction between teacher and student. Playfulness th- rough games has increasingly become one of the tools that foster quality teaching and learning for students, requiring the development of several fundamental skills during the student’s growth process. It is therefore considered that playful activities are essential to the student’s integral development.
