O uso de jogos como metodologia facilitadora do processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Bearing in mind the importance of using games as a methodology that facilitates the teaching and learning process, this work aims to analyze the methodological and social role of games in the teaching and learning process of mathematics in the early years of Elementary School, seeking to demonstrate the pedagogical value, its influence and its effectiveness as a mediating strategy of knowledge. Therefore, games become essential to promote more meaningful Mathematics classes, as they stimulate motivation, reasoning, socialization and, above all, delight students and teachers. The methodology used was based on bibliographical research, with four mathematical games being proposed to be used in the early years of Elementary School. In the literature review, it was found that games can represent a lighter way for students to understand the use of rules not only in the logistics of the game itself, but also in the process of teaching and learning mathematics, proving to be a fundamental resource. in the appropriation of different contents and going beyond the extensive and exhausting lists of exercises so commonly used by more traditional teachers.
