PRÁTICAS DE LUDICIDADE NO ENSINO DA MATEMÁTICA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to study the presence of playfulness in the teaching of mathematics in the school context of the early years. The research commented on how games and games manifest themselves as a strategy in educational methodologies in the classes of the first stage of elementary school. Play is an inherent action in child life, so it can be an efficient resource to be applied in the child's educational process. Through a study based on the foundations contained in several bibliographies, we sought to identify how the application of playful activities combined with pedagogical activities can transform learning mathematics into a pleasurable, meaningful action, with increasingly satisfactory results. The studies were based on authors who approach teaching in the early years and all its characteristics, and also on researchers who specifically addressed in their studies the application of playfulness in the teaching of mathematics. Through these research directions, there was a dialogue between the authors to achieve the objectives of the study that were to characterize and demonstrate the importance of playfulness in the teaching of mathematics in the early years.
