QUIZ LOGICAL REASONING IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the importance of Mathematics, its teaching and the application of logical reasoning in a playful way. To carry out this investigation, a workshop was offered based on the Project “School and University Connection: subjects, actions and knowledge”, linked to the Academic Dean's Office of the University of Santa Cruz do Sul. called Logical Reasoning Quiz, which is implemented in Basic Education in Santa Cruz do Sul/RS and region. With the completion of the workshop, it was detected the importance of using logical reasoning to develop the understanding of mathematical concepts and the role of play as an innovative and effective methodology for breaking the routine in classes considered traditional. It takes place in person, however, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was suitable to continue with its activities, migrating to the Google Meet platform. With the flexibility of health protocols, in 2021, some meetings took place in person. As a result, it was found that the use of logical reasoning provided the stimulus of curiosity to solve problems in different contexts of the students. The teacher also played a fundamental role in instigating the use of mathematical logic so that the student could better understand mathematical concepts and, thus, stimulate their reasoning.
