Jogos matemáticos como ferramenta pedagógica: percepções dos docentes sobre jogos matemáticos e desenvolvimento de uma proposta didática em powerpoint para o ensino médio

Abstract

This study investigated high school teachers’ perceptions regarding the use of digital games in Mathematics teaching, focusing on games developed in PowerPoint. The research examined these perceptions, identifying the main challenges and facilitating factors related to the application of this methodology in the classroom. The study developed interactive digital games in PowerPoint as an accessible alternative for integrating playful pedagogical resources into everyday school practices. The approach adopted was qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive, using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with teachers in the field. Based on the collected data, an educational PowerPoint game addressing high school content was created, along with instructional material guiding the production of such games. The proposal made it possible to assess the potential of this tool as a support resource for Mathematics teaching.
