AS METODOLOGIAS E RECURSOS PARA O ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DAS QUATRO OPERAÇÕES MATEMÁTICAS

Abstract

The main theme of this research is the methodologies and resources for teaching and learning the four mathematical operations, making use of so-called natural numbers, in the first years of Elementary School. The objective of this article is to discuss some strategies that can contribute to teaching estimative calculation, mental calculation and algorithms, involving Natural Numbers that require the use of knowledge of the four basic mathematical operations (division, multiplication, subtraction and addition) in the first years of Elementary Education, to paths that lead to learning in an attractive and dynamic way, and that, in this way, prepare students to deal with everyday needs, giving them the opportunity to develop intelligence in a practical way, solving problems, searching and selecting elements for decision making and also generate broad capacity for handling activities in the mathematical field. Qualitative bibliographical research was used as a methodology, making conceptual dialogue with some authors possible, analyzing theory and applied practice, based on an analytical and descriptive approach regarding this topic. Therefore, the four mathematical operations cover the essential calculations for quantitative logical thinking, the basis for learning mathematics and it is necessary to induce cognitive development in the search for better learning.
