THE GAME AS A PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCE FOR TEACHING GEOMETRY REFLECTED IN ENEM’S SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

The present study aims to provide a critical understanding of the characteristics of games as a teaching  methodology in the Final Years of Elementary School and High School, using the Scientific Communications from the annals of the ENEM XIII and XIV meetings as a source of exploratory and documentary material. The research is of a qualitative nature and uses the word 'game' as a search criterion in the annals. In this way, a total of 95 articles were found that presented this word in their titles. During this period, studies that discussed the practical implementation of games in classroom were prioritized. In the final selection, based on a critical reading of the titles, the focus was on works that addressed the topic in an applied way, highlighting the practical relevance of the game. We organized the selected articles based on the BNCC thematic units, specifically Geometry. It is concluded that, by using games in the Mathematics curricular component, students can deepen their knowledge, strengthening pratical understanding of mathematical uses and properties.
