Circuitzles: lógica proposicional na educação básica

Abstract

This work proposes the creation of a playful model of teaching propositional logic in basic education, more specifically in elementary education. The game was created thinking about how to bring these teachings in a very simple and natural way. With that, the use of difficulty levels was considered. Circuitzles is a set of puzzles made from logic circuits, which is a direct application of propositional logic. It has 4 different modes of difficulty control, they are: color, quantity, complexity and knowledge. Through studies, it can be said that both logic and playfulness are tools that improve children’s academic, social and, in the future, professional capacity. With Circuitzles, the company will develop its concentration, capacity for association, compartmentalization of tasks and planning, in addition to the basis for argumentation, set theory and electronics. The continued use of the game, progressively raising the levels according to the development of each one, will bring these benefits so naturally that the child will not even realize that it has been taught.
