AS DIFICULDADES DOS ALUNOS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL NA DISCIPLINA DE MATEMÁTICA

Abstract

The Mathematics Discipline is considered by many students to be the most difficult among all others, which drew our attention to write this article, which has the theme "The difficulties of elementary school students in the discipline of mathematics". We started from some questions, such as: what leads students to this feeling related to Mathematics? Is it possible to identify these difficulties presented by students in elementary school? What can be done as a possibility for more attractive classes in Mathematics, so that students have motivation to study this Discipline? In answering these questions, our objective was to understand what leads students, in particular, from elementary school to this feeling related to mathematics, characterizing the difficulties encountered, as well as pointing out possibilities for more attractive classes in order to motivate them to study of the Discipline. As a methodology, we adopted bibliographic research based on an interpretive reading, supported by some authors who discuss the topic, among them Sisto (2001), Sacramento (2009) Pimenta (2019), among others. It concludes with the research that we need to understand the types of learning difficulties of mathematical content and to reorganize the school curriculum, in order to consider the discipline of mathematics as a process historically produced and in continuous transformation, including in undergraduate courses that aim at teacher training.
