Revista didática como recurso de ensino sobre noções de conjunto e conjuntos numéricos

Abstract

This paper presents the development of an educational magazine focused on teaching concepts of sets and numerical sets to high school students. The material brings together playful activities inspired by traditional games and adapted for educational purposes, such as word searches, crossword puzzles, word associations, and interactive challenges, contributing to a more relevant and interactive learning process. The research is based on a qualitative-quantitative perspective, applied to a 1st-year high school class integrated with the technical course in Construction at the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP), Macapá campus. Data collection was carried out through diagnostic and final questionnaires, as well as guided classroom activities, allowing for the analysis of perceptions, difficulties, and advances in learning. The results indicate that the use of educational games and playful means directly contributes to reducing obstacles in the study of sets, increasing engagement and favoring the assimilation of concepts. The educational magazine has potential as a complementary teaching resource, serving as an effective tool to support more dynamic teaching practices aligned with students' needs. The study therefore emphasizes that a focus on well organized active methodologies improves the teaching and learning of sets in high school.
