Reflexões acerca dos desafios presentes no ensino da matemática nos anos finais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

It is known that mathematics is seen as an indispensable discipline in the process of teaching and learning, also being considered as an area that excites and enhances cognitive ability of students. However, it is clear that teaching and learning mathematics is a challenge for most teachers and students as they consider it a complex area and difficult context with everyday. Since then, this paper aims to reflect on the challenges in the teaching of mathematics in the final years of elementary school, but also to understand and analyze the teaching practice this in a public school so that one can do detailed analysis on the challenges as well as the opportunities for improving the teaching of mathematics. Therefore the related work will be based on some theoretical assumptions so that we can better understand the nuances present in mathematics teaching. From the analysis of the data it can be seen that most of the subjects inserted in the investigated institution consider teaching and mathematics learning a Gift challenge, and students are increasingly having difficulty in learning it, which needs urgent better context and greater commitment from teachers, managers and the whole school community with actions that enable improvements in learning mathematics.
