Jogos e softwares on-lines para ensinar geometria: desafios e possibilidades de utilização desses recursos para ensinar geometria no Ensino Médio

Abstract

The present work is a bibliographical exploratory qualitative research, investigating the contributions of online games and the software they bring to the classroom of the last stage of basic education, as well as the challenges and possibilities of their use to teach Geometry in High School, approaching the significance of the use of technologies in Mathematics classes in the thematic unit Geometry. The idea is promoted that online games, when planned and well applied in the classroom, lead to positive aspects for the teaching and learning practices of students and teachers in High School. The exchange of knowledge between educator and student strengthens ties and breaks old paradigms, which only the teacher has to teach and nothing to learn. Students are attracted by the ludic, therefore, educators focused on bringing them to the school environment, adapting each game to the corresponding year of study, can be significant to generate learning Mathematics. In adjacency we have a variety of didactic materials that may be complementing the classes as a pedagogical support. Adding to the presupposed considerations in this summary, the result of the research indicates the improvement of logical reasoning, meaningful learning, students' interest in the dynamics of classes and especially in the multicultural reception of students, as a participant in their learning. Furthermore, as online games are planned and well applied in the classroom, they lead to positive aspects for the teaching and learning practices of students and teachers in high school.
