Explorando geometria elementar através de jogos e desafios

Abstract

It is presented in this thesis a didactic proposal for pedagogical teaching aspects of Geometry through games and challenges. The main goal is to present a more didactic resource for teachers of elementary Mathematics. The games have been widely used in classroom. However, living in an increasingly competitive world, students focus only on winning the game and most of the time end up forgetting the exploration of mathematical content that is supposed to be learned. Given that, it was decided that cooperative games is an interesting option in which partnership and cooperation is more important than rivalry. We formulated and used games and challenges that could be conducted outside the classroom to explore locations, using measures of length and angles with an adventure approach to the problem of treasure hunting. We also used recreational and computer kits, synchronized with the current world that can subsidize teachers wishing to work with the initial concepts of Geometry in a different and motivating way for students.
