Literatura infantil: um saberfazer possível no ensino da matemática

Abstract

This research, entitled “Children's Literature: a possible know-how in the teaching of mathematics”, emerged from questions and reflections on and with my teaching practice in the perspective of building a more enjoyable, meaningful and contextualized teaching process. Seeking to understand how children's literature, through problem solving, can help in the teaching-learning process of mathematics and in the formation of the student, I managed a work, in the first semester of 2019, with my 4th grade elementary school class, located in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais. In the tessitura of this text, I used as a theoretical-political-epistemological-methodological perspective the research in / with / inside the school daily life. And as a materiality of study, narratives constructed from my teaching practice. This exercise is done in narrative writing which is another form of textual organization, trying to show that children's literature connected with problem solving in mathematics teaching helps children in the formation of critical, reflective and creative thinking.
