Jogos como recursos para a otimização da aprendizagem matemática no 6º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This article presents a qualitative research study investigating the effectiveness of mathematical games as a resource for assessing learning in the 6th grade of elementary school. The objective was to analyze how playful games can complement traditional teaching by capturing students' interest and facilitating the understanding of mathematical concepts. The methodology involved systematic observation and participant observation at a municipal school in Parintins, where teaching methods and the application of the ASMD game were evaluated with 6th-grade students. The results indicated that mathematical games not only made classes more engaging but also enhanced students' cognitive and social performance, reducing anxiety associated with mathematics.
