Corrida Algébrica: Como Metodologia de Ensino para a Aprendizagem de Equações do 1º Grau

Abstract

This work willingly investigates the use of the educational game "Carrera Algebraica" as a resource methodological for teaching and learning primary grades. There investigation arises from the need to overcome recurring difficulties in teaching algebra, especially the lack of conceptual understanding and the low motivation of the student there was symbolic content. Considering that traditional methodologies, based on mechanical repetition, without always promoting meaningful learning, this study is based in approaches that value play, social interaction and thought development algebraic. The activity applied to a class of second semester students Mathematics in the CESTB/UEA, due to time limitations and availability in them Basic Education schools. The intervention allowed us to observe that the game favored her active participation, collaboration, logical reasoning and dynamic resolution contextualized ecuations. The results showed that the proposal contributed to the consolidating fundamental concepts of algebra and reducing mathematical anxiety, demonstrating potential for its use both in initial teacher training and in primary education. It is concluded that the Algebraic Carrera constitutes a strategic efficient pedagogical approach, capable of integrating play with formal teaching and promoting learning more significant, motivating and reflective.
