Matemática na educação infantil: possibilidades para o ensino de geometria

Abstract

This course conclusion work presents a survey research on Mathematics in Early Childhood Education, with emphasis on geometry, games and children's literature. Through this, I seek as a general objective to investigate materials that aid the movement of geometry teaching in children's education through games and children's literature, and as specific objectives identify mathematical games that explore geometry and analyze ways of teaching geometry through reading children's book. The interest in this work came from my experiences related to mathematics throughout the Basic Education and it was through my inquiries with a look not only of teacher in formation, but of student, that this took shape and was concluded. In the first chapter I present the introduction, in the second chapter I bring some theoretical notes on the teaching of Mathematics in Early Childhood Education and how games and children's literature can be used to enhance this teaching, and in the third chapter I present two pictures Of game analysis and children's literature that can be used in the classroom as a differentiated methodology for teaching practice. Finally, I contemplate my goals with the completion of this work, presenting new ways to enrich mathematics teaching opportunities in the classroom and showing the importance of this teaching from kindergarten.
