LUDICIDADE NA MATEMÁTICA

Abstract

earning math is much more than knowing how to count, it is necessary to understand the concept of numbers. Given these difficulties, some questions arise: how can teachers use playfulness to work with students? What are the challenges in teaching mathematics? How can playfulness contribute to student learning? Thus, this work aims to highlight the importance of working with playfulness in math classes in children's daily lives, enabling a positive view of math learning. It was intended in its methodology to carry out a systematic bibliographic review that brings through theoretical references how playfulness is important in the teaching process of mathematics learning, where working with play makes practical classes attractive for students, and educators obtain better results in the room. Several authors point out that games can be used with the purpose of facilitating learning, such as building concepts and memorizing processes, while playing is exercising their ability to concentrate, pay attention, learn to elaborate hypotheses, establishing different alternatives by organizing themselves in the best way to solve the problems. It is concluded that playfulness in mathematics plays a very important role in achieving success in educational practice.
