Software educativo para o auxílio do ensino da matemática para crianças do 2° ano do 1° ciclo do ensino fundamental I

Abstract

Nowadays it is clearly necessary that teachers of young students find new ways to make the learning process more attractive and dynamic. Mathematics is an important and very useful subject, however it is one of the most difficult to learn. Most worryingly is that this difficult already appears in the early years of education. Piaget argues that the way mathematics is taught is archaic and does not generate interest in the student, or even encourage them to learn more. This project's goal is to ease the difficult found in the early periods of teaching, propos ing an educational game that helps the process of teaching mathematics. This game targets mainly children in the 2nd year of the 1st cycle of the “Ensino Fundamental I”. It deals with concepts like number sorting, quantifying of objects and basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. When tested in a public school in Ponta Grossa, Paraná state, it was perceived promising results, and great acceptance by the children and teachers involved.
