EXPERIENCE REPORT FOR UNPLUGGED AND INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES WITH 4TH YEAR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This work reports the experience of applying unplugged investigative activities developed in an extension project, applied in a basic education school in the city of Osório/RS, with students of the 4th year from Elementary School. These activities aim to contextualize Mathematics with Computational Thinking, through meetings that work with the resolution of investigative problems using unplugged resources (without the use of digital resources). The results show a visible use and interest of the students in the proposed activities, diversifying the classic tasks usually proposed at school, going beyond lectures and repetitive exercises. The results indicate around 60 to 90% of correct answers in the tasks performed, considering that the solutions were created exclusively by the students, and even those who had some difficulty managed to find their own mistakes, providing students with the proper appropriation of Computational Thinking linked to the resolution of investigative problems related to specific tasks of the discipline of Mathematics, generating curiosity, creativity and autonomy.
