O uso dos jogos matemáticos como ferramentas na educação infantil

Abstract

The use of games for teaching mathematics in early childhood education has been met with resistance in schools to implement new practices in the classroom, as many are unaware of the benefits that games provide for learning. This study has the general objective of: Verifying the importance of using mathematical games in the teaching-learning process of early childhood education. Specifically, highlighting early childhood education today; analyzing how the use of mathematical games positively reflects on the teaching-learning process; and analyzing the importance of mathematical games in early childhood education and reflecting on the use of games as an element that facilitates learning. The interest in the topic is justified by the need for greater reflection regarding mathematical games in early childhood education and the role of the school in relation to the new educational practice. The methodology used in this work was based on a bibliographic search in the Google Scholar database, from 2017 to 2024. However, according to the research, it is clear that the game is a valuable pedagogical resource, making learning more concrete and enjoyable. In teaching mathematics, games are important in the learning process, as they transform the classroom into a space that generates knowledge.
