Game Serra Pelada: projeto, implementação e avaliação de um jogo educativo para o ensino de geometria para alunos do 9° ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This article presents the project, implementation and evaluation of an educational game platform, whose user the geometry concepts the Math Reference Matrix 9th grade elementary school with the subject I space and form. Having as the game scenario is the mining of Serra Pelada, in the main character plot is a prospector who struggle with prospectors enemies who will try to stop you from achieving complete your goals. The game while teaching geometric concepts is fun, what distinguishes compared with the vast majority of educational mathematics games that lack of playfulness. To verify the applicability of the game as an auxiliary tool in mathematics teaching, tests were performed with students from 9th grade of elementary school in a public school in the city of Maraba-Pa. The game was well received by students and evaluation proved that the software can be used as a tool to assist in the teaching and learning geometry.
