O uso de jogos no ensino de funções do primeiro e segundo grau com alunos do 1° ano do ensino médio

Abstract

This paper presents a didactic alternative in the study of 1st and 2nd degree functions, reviewing the main elements of each topic such as: graphical construction, roots, vertex, coefficients, and identification of a function. The importance of working with ludic activities and bringing game-based learning into the classroom, advocated by many researchers and the National Common Curricular Base, was demonstrated. For this application, the bingo and online platform WordWall games were used, and a planning resulted in four 45-minute classes that were carried out at a State High School in Roseira - SP, Brazil. The research was applied to 16 first-year high school students in the Mathematics discipline. At the end of the activities, students were asked to fill out an online form hosted on the Google Forms platform. The students reported that the practical activities with games were effective in building knowledge about the studied contents. As a result, it is believed that the use of games significantly contributed as a facilitator of the teaching-learning process, promoting student involvement and engagement through interaction and feedback.
