Resolução de problemas como metodologia do ensino de matemática na educação infantil: uma perspectiva docente

Abstract

This work had as its theme to carry out a study of the use of problem solving as a methodology for teaching mathematics in early childhood education, and to understand how the teachers of EM Meu Amor mobilize this methodology in classroom practice. A survey was made of some theorists regarding the importance of teaching mathematics for the formation of the subject, we approached some practical aspects of problem solving and then we approached how problem solving occurs in early childhood education. A questionnaire was applied to teachers of Early Childhood Education, to analyze the practice with the studied theory. As a result, we obtained several reports from teachers contemplating the formation of an active and curious child who has the opportunity to go through a creative process. It was also contemplated the use of games, games and everyday situations as ways of teaching mathematics in Early Childhood Education and emphasizing the importance of permanent training that includes problem solving as a methodology for teaching mathematics. Therefore, we emphasize that the problem solving used as a methodology for teaching mathematics in Early Childhood Education is a valuable tool for the formation of the child as an active and rights subject, according to reports by the teachers of Escola Meu Amor.
