O ensino da tabuada a partir do uso de metodologias ativas: estudo de caso no ensino fundamental II

Abstract

This research addresses the teaching of multiplication tables as an essential tool for the development of mathematical skills, which are fundamental for improving logical reasoning and learning in general. The study seeks to analyze the impact of active methodologies in teaching multiplication tables to students in the 6th grade of Elementary School II, with the aim of minimizing the difficulties associated with conventional teaching and promoting more dynamic and efficient learning. The research is characterized as basic, structured based on a case study. Over a three-week period, activities were developed that included the Pythagorean multiplication table, interactive practices and group competitions. Data collection allowed the evaluation of students' progress in understanding multiplication. The results indicated that many students advanced in their mastery of multiplication tables, despite challenges such as delays in the school calendar and gaps in previous content. The study demonstrated that interactive methods and the inclusion of physical activities increase student engagement, resulting in more effective learning. It is concluded that active methodologies make teaching multiplication tables more attractive and efficient, transforming it into an engaging experience. Furthermore, this approach contributes to the intellectual and social development of students, even in contexts with scarce resources.
