Desenvolvimento de aplicativo matemático com enfase em sustentabilidade voltado para o 7º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The development of mathematical game can be an alternative to attract and show students mathematical concepts. One of these alternatives for contextualizing can be through sustainability issues. Showing which products can be reused for garbage reduction. Therefore, the union between sustainability and mathematics, in the context of educational games, can bring beyond learning the construction of conscious citizens about their role in society. With this in mind, we are developing an educational Mathematics application with a focus on sustainability. This research is exploratory, using the qualitative approach with the methods that involve: bibliographic survey and application of questionnaires with the research subjects. After the development the application was validated with students of the 7th grade of elementary school of a state public school. The subjects of the research, 7th grade students, were asked to answer a questionnaire to evaluate the application, highlighting the positive and / or negative aspects, highlighting the benefits and / or difficulties in the use, this information will compose the results of the research. Based on the students' response, we observed the need to make some improvements, among the main ones: gameplay, character movement, graphics and compatibility for more players. Finally, we observed that the application awakened in the student the awareness about the environment and increased his ability in mathematics.
