Uno da função afim: jogo como ferramenta facilitadora no ensino da matemática

Abstract

This study investigates the use of games as facilitating tools in the teaching of Mathematics, with emphasis on the study of the linear function. The research analyzes how the adaptation of a game can make the learning process more dynamic and motivating, contributing to students' engagement and fostering a more positive perception of the subject. The methodology proposes the incorporation of adapted games into the school environment, encouraging teachers to develop playful activities that explore mathematical concepts in an interactive way. In addition, the study considers the potential of games to stimulate logical-mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, promoting greater student interest in mathematical content. The results indicated greater student engagement and improved performance in concepts directly addressed during the activity, such as identifying the root and the linear coefficient of the linear function. Despite the methodological limitations, the study highlights the potential of using educational games as a complementary strategy in teaching Mathematics.
