A utilização de jogos para o ensino e aprendizagem da função quadrática

Abstract

This work of course completion presents the planning and development of a class on the quadratic function using as a didactic resource the card game. For this, a study was carried out on the concepts associated to the quadratic function and on the use of games in mathematics teaching. The class was developed with twenty-five students from a school in Rio Grande do Sul state, enrolled in the second year of high school. In order to make possible a better learning and construction of the basic knowledge about the quadratic function, three activities were developed: study of the concepts; resolution of exercises; and playing a card game. With the development of activities, we can observe the importance of the use of concrete material, the card game, to obtain better concentration and motivation on the part of the students and consequently a better learning.
