Ensino e aprendizagem de conceitos matemáticos: dificuldades e possibilidades metodológicas nos anos iniciais

Abstract

The present work brings reflections on the teaching of basic mathematical concepts in the early years from the experience lived in the Institutional Program of Extension Scholarships of the State University of Maranhão, from 2015-2016, held in a municipal school of São Luís, whose The project's theme was <Teaching and Learning Mathematical Concepts in the Early Years=. The objective of the research was to analyze how the teaching of mathematical basic concepts by the teacher influences the student learning, as well as how they can be worked aiming at an improvement in the teaching quality. The methodology was a qualitative approach, using bibliographic research, legal document analysis and action research. Data collection included a questionnaire with open and closed questions, semi-structured interviews, participatory observation and workshops with students and teachers. As input, we used theorists who explain the evolutionary process of the discipline and the factors related to the teaching of mathematical concepts from the perspective of the education of the pedagogue, the challenges of practice and the new methodological proposals. Finally, we discuss the results of the research from the workshops, highlighting the positive aspects that promoted an update and improvement of the practice of teachers and students of the school where it was developed, as well as the discussion about some limitations that occurred during the workshop project application
