A utilização do jogo de dominó na aprendizagem da matemática na EJA

Abstract

In this work, the use of dominoes adapted to the content of operations with integers, fractions, exponentiation, and square roots is investigated as a teaching resource for mathematics in Youth and Adult Education (EJA), aiming to teach mathematics to students in a playful way. The project was implemented at IFAP - Macapá campus, with the class of the 5th module of the EJA Technical Course in Occupational Safety. The research aims to investigate the importance of the domino game as a didactic tool in the classroom. The research methodology is exploratory, qualitative, and applied, where the created product was an adapted domino set. The games were developed and tested in the classroom. The results highlighted the domino, which is a playful tool capable of promoting skills in logical reasoning, concentration, and cooperation, serving as an effective means to promote cognitive learning and development. The use of the adapted math domino can be applied in the classroom as a way to achieve learning for EJA students in a relaxed manner through play, making playtime significant.
