A matemática no dia a dia da criança: um relato de experiência com crianças de 4 a 5 anos e 11 meses na UFAL / Sertão

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to investigate from the experience provided in the discipline of Knowledge and Methodologies of Early Childhood Education II, during the 2023.1 academic semester, of the Pedagogy course at UFAL/Sertão, how children from 4 to 5 years and 11 months identify the mathematical thinking experienced in their daily lives by developing temporal spatial notions, notions of magnitudes, measures and quantities and reflection on transformation processes in their learning process through play? Its specific objectives are: Structuring of activities to be carried out in the experience proposed in the discipline of Knowledge and Methodologies of Early Childhood Education II, during the 2023.1 school semester, of the Pedagogy course at Ufal/Sertão, with children from CMEI Professor Maria Pinto de Oliveira, in the Municipality of Delmiro Gouveia-AL; Guide the activities with children from 4 to 5 years and 11 months of the CMEI Professor Maria Pinto de Oliveira, from the Municipality of Delmiro Gouveia-AL, to verify the child's understanding of temporal spatial notions, notions of magnitudes, measurements and quantities and reflection on transformation processes; Analyze the actions developed at UFAL/Sertão through games, toys and games with children from 4 to 5 years old from CMEI Professor Maria Pinto de Oliveira, from the Municipality of Delmiro Gouveia-AL, based on the fields of experiences "Traces, sounds, colors and forms"; "Spaces, times, quantities, relations and transformations". A qualitative study was carried out, focused on the day of the experience. It was observed during this research that mathematical thinking plays an important role in early childhood education because it is from playfulness that children experience notions of sharing, division, logical- mathematical thinking, sequence, notions of magnitude, quantities, interaction, imagination, space, forms as validated in the study.
