A UTILIZAÇÃO DE MATERIAIS MANIPULÁVEIS PARA O ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DE MATEMÁTICA NAS SÉRIES INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

The use of manipulative materials in the teaching of mathematics can be an excellent aid for dynamic learning, in which the use of different resources can facilitate the understanding of the meaning of concepts and promote their fixation. In addition, the use of active methodologies in teaching aims at the student's participation in the construction of the learning process, since they use interactive mechanisms that arouse attention. In this bias, it is questioned how the manipulative materials presented as a pedagogical resource for mathematics classes can favor the teaching and learning process in the initial grades of elementary school? Thus, the present work aims to understand the importance of manipulative materials for mathematics classes as a pedagogical resource in the teaching and learning process in the initial grades of elementary school. The methodology presented had as a technical procedure the bibliographic research, which was based on the description of ideas based on authors about the importance of using manipulative materials in mathematics teaching. It is also qualitative and exploratory, as it provided details of material handling and development in the classroom, aiming to contribute to a dynamic and attractive teaching. The results were based on the description of teaching materials, such as the tangram, the abacus, the golden material, the geometric solids, the disk of fractions, the cuisenaire scale, presenting ideas for content to be explored. Therefore, when inserting teaching materials into teaching, children can relate theory to practice, so that it mobilizes knowledge that leads to new knowledge.
