INCLUSIVE MATHEMATICS: A COLLABORATIVE STUDY ON GAMES WITH RULES
Inclusive Mathematics; Games with rules; Collaborative Research;
This present study is about a masters dissertation entitled “Included mathematics”: An collaborate study about games with rules; and it is linked to Postgraduate Program in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics (UFRN), that aims to investigate the potentialities using rules games in an inclusive perspective in teaching rational numbers with a collaborative work group composed by elementary mathematic teachers by public school in Natal. This study is included in a qualitative approach, being configured as collaborative research, understanding collaborative research as an interaction and reflection process about an given object, where researcher and collaborate subjects have equal rights and duties within a chain of study and reconstruction of knowledge and knowledge formulation. Thus, our research sought to contribute to the studies in the field of Inclusive Mathematical Education, based on D’Ambrósio (2201, 2013), Fiorentini (2013), Kranz (2014, 2015), and others, with the studies referring to the concept of mediation and collaboration present in Historical-Cultural Psychology, as a reference for collaborative and inclusive teaching. As an educational product, we developed a didactic manual, presenting the game with rules built with the collaborative group. Thus, we hope that this material favors the rethinking of mathematics teaching, especially the concept of rational numbers, contributing to the teaching practice of Mathematics teachers, in an inclusive perspective.
