Metodologias para o ensino da Matemática: algumas contribuições sobre história da Matemática, jogos e tecnologia

Abstract

The research addresses the importance of methodologies for teaching mathematics, with regard to some contributions from the History of Mathematics, Games and Technology. As a general objective, this study aimed to analyze how the use of these methodologies can improve the teaching of the subject, considering both their contributions and some challenges that may arise when adopting such approaches. Thus, the following specific objectives were outlined: to discuss the teaching of Mathematics and the importance of using teaching methodologies to teach this subject, to study the use of the History of Mathematics, Games and Technology as teaching methodologies to teach Mathematics and to check whether these methodologies are used by Mathematics teachers in the final years of primary school at a municipal school located in BaisaslMA. The methodology employed involved a bibliographic analysis based on documents such as the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC) and “the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN), as well as study by various authors, as well as a field survey with the Mathematics teachers mentioned above, in which the answers given by the teachers to a questionnaire were analyzed, based on which their pedagogical practices were analyzed in relation to the use of these teaching methodologies. In the light of the analysis of this research, it was inferred that it instigated a reflection which contributed to the improvement of educational practices in the teaching of mathematics, as well as motivating the use of more effective and meaningful approaches, especially the methodologies present in this research, with a view to raising the standard of teaching quality and consequently, achieving more positive learning results.
