Abstract

The text we now share as a children's literary book was the result of the work with the Extension Project of the Goiano Federal Institute, Campus Morrinhos, titled "Learning Mathematics Playing", conducted with children from six to seven years old, in a public school in the city of Morrinhos. In the course of the project, in which all the participating students planned and assembled a didactic sequence, under my guidance, the dear students Paula, Sabrina and Thaynara wrote the story presented here so that it would be illustrated by the children, and before, so that we could see the possibilities , we also illustrate it. The work consists of simple illustrations, made with ink using the fingers and hands, since our intention was to work the motor coordination, the laterality and especially the visual, since the visualization in the initial years of schooling forms the basis of algebraic thinking and thinking geometric later. The figures are not new, they were made based on others found in the internet and free access, so the wealth is not in the figures, but in the way they can be made by children and in the story created with them. We thank the children participating in this project, because with them we perceive the richness of our work, and the real need to join practice and theory, with experiences and experiences, and that every day the Academy can observe the tripod: Teaching, Research and Extension, so that the students will experience through the life-world.
