O jogo de tabuleiro como recurso didático para o ensino do conceito de proporcionalidade

Abstract

One of the main complaints teachers have about students is the difficulty they have in solving elementary mathematical calculations of elementary school, such as: rule of three, four operations, ratio and proportion, percentage, which are topics focused on the concept of proportionality. Students' lack of interest in being attentive to classes has increased, as one of the justifications would be that math classes are always presented from the use of the board and brush, in which the teacher passes the concepts and mathematical problems, as well as the difficulty of discipline, which has increased over time by being used with formulas and applications, which students cannot assimilate very well. Thus, the general objective of the research is to know the use of board game to support the learning of proportionality content, and the specific objectives are: to know board games with potentiality of proportionality content, to identify teaching methodologies with the use of of games for the development of proportionality content and describe a board game as a development proposal to the concepts of proportionality. The guidance methodology for this study is applied, with a participant nature, with a qualitative approach. The subjects of the research were the students of a class F of the first grade of the High School, in the afternoon shift, in a school of the state school system, located in the Maraponga neighborhood, in the city of Fortaleza - Ceará. Systematic observation was the application of a questionnaire, used as a data collection instrument. Finally, a didactic material will be elaborated, aiming to explain the application of the board game used in the research. The results obtained from the application of this didactic resource were satisfactory both for the teacher, who can work with another method in the classroom and also showing a good strategy for teaching, as well as for the student, in the interest of math classes, in review of the concepts of proportionality, and thus facilitated the understanding of learning of these concepts.
