"Damas das operações": um jogo que contribui para o aprendizado das quatro operações fundamentais

Abstract

The following work aimed to understand how games and play contribute to the development of the mathematical skills of high school students from two different locations. This project was based on qualitative research, with the main authors of this research being Lorenzato and Peretti & Tonin Da Costa, who in their works show how games can help develop students in various aspects such as educational, emotional, cognitive and social. In order to reach a conclusion, a game designed by the author called "Checkers of Operations" was applied in two different places and the results obtained showed that when games are part of students' lives, they develop fully in their learning. It was concluded that the game can be an effective tool for improving understanding of basic mathematics, as it constantly challenges students to remember how numerical expressions can be solved and provides a fun approach to classroom work.
