PLAYFULNESS AND MATHEMATICS TEACHING: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT LIVING IN A CLASS OF “PROGRAM BRASIL NA ESCOLA”

Abstract

This work aims to socialize the contributions of activities developed in the Brasil na Escola Program, in/for student learning and training of future Mathematics teachers. These were interventions developed in partnership with the Laboratory of Studies and Research in Mathematics Education (LEPEM) of the State University of Bahia (Uneb). This program aims to encourage innovations and strategies to ensure the learning of students in the final years of Elementary School. In this direction, we experience a didactic sequence in the perspective of working one of the four fundamental operations: Multiplication. We started the activities by carrying out a brief review of the operation and exploring the concepts and their properties, noticing lessons learned and difficulties. In the process, we worked with the students on the Pythagorean Table, so that they had contact with the multiplication of the table from 1 to 10 and, in the sequence, we experienced the Product Game IV. At the end, and during the experience, we can contemplate the development of students' learning from the games, dynamics and other potentially ludic activities proposed and the importance of this type of experience for basic education students and for our training, as future teachers of mathematics.
