TRILHAS DAS EQUAÇÕES: A LINGUAGEM ALGÉBRICA NAS AULAS DE MATEMÁTICA

Abstract

The present work characterizes as an experience report on the use of mathematical games in the teaching of algebra in the 9th year of Elementary School, in a school located in the city of Ipameri-GO. Seeks to lead students to learn algebraic concepts; to interpret the unknown as an entity that can assume specific values and use it to formulate expressions. Mathematical thinking and the use of algebraic language are often not properly developed in mathematics classrooms. The objectives of this work are to investigate how the use of mathematical games can contribute to the learning of algebraic thinking in the 9th grade of elementary school, as well as to present the game Trilha das Equações, based on significant learning for the study of algebraic expressions, in a way to lead students to learn in a playful and pleasurable way, improving each one's learning. From the data obtained, it is concluded that the use of didactic resources such as the Trilha das Equações game and the concrete materials is fundamental, and contributes significantly to the development and learning of students, because through participation in these activities they interact with each other. others, which contributes to the development of their representative capacities. After the end of the intervention, we had the result that the use of mathematical games and concrete materials could provide students with relaxed and engaging moments, helping to improve the quality of teaching and develop algebraic thinking, in addition to positively influencing as an incentive, showing that Mathematics is an interesting subject and you can learn it.
