Jogo da memória no ensino da tabuada de multiplicação no 6.º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The multiplication table is the mathematical basis on which students must carry on in their school and everyday life, since they are always faced with numbers. Multiplication is one of the most used operations in school and in life, second only to addition. Today the multiplication table has not been explored significantly, making it difficult for students to understand it. Learning multiplication requires technique from those who teach and memorization, attention and logical reasoning from those who acquire it. Therefore, it is clear that without a coherent form of teaching, there is no way to develop learning, much less the ability to memorize and capture multiplication. One way to structure and offer these skills is to use playfulness as a teaching technique. From this perspective, this work aims to enable students to learn multiplication and bring a new teaching mechanism for this operation, since it is an operation widely used socially and educationally. The use of the memory game in teaching multiplication tables, provides students with a more facilitative and comprehensive way to learn, in addition to providing fun, an experience different from mechanized. The project was applied at the Elementary and High School Francisca Holanda Costa, in the 6rd year classes, in Pindoretama-ce. The methodology used in this work was a quantitative and qualitative research, making a case study. Research has shown how successful the game was in acquiring knowledge and how playful it is to teach. The results of the project application demonstrated the development of logical reasoning, the memorization and capture of multiplication, making the students obtain satisfactory learning through the applied game.
