O ensino da matemática sob o enfoque da aprendizagem criativa na educação infantil

Abstract

This research intents to take a theoretical-practical look at the teaching of mathematics in the early years, more specifically in a Kindergarten V class in the public school system of the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná. Much is discussed and debated about the needs and importance of a playful, grounded, up-to-date teaching that provides students with full creative development. Thus, the possible contributions of the creative learning methodology in mathematics classes were analyzed here. As the main theoretical contribution, the creative learning spiral and the theories that make up this way of guiding teaching were used. We considered what some official documents say, such as the LDB, the BNCC, the RCNEI, among others. Concepts such as the microworld also appear as support for the methodology proposed here, studied and analyzed. As for the methodology, it is possible to say that the approach is qualitative, the nature is applied, the objectives permeate the descriptive research, as for the procedures, it is action research. The results are positive, since the mathematical concepts that were proposed through the activity of the fair were achieved. The students were able to understand the equivalences, the sum, and the social context of the fair.
