O uso de jogos indígenas no ensino e na aprendizagem de Matemática
Resumo
Os jogos indígenas desempenham um papel importante em várias comunidades. Apesar das pesquisas indicarem que esses jogos podem ser utilzados para avançar e criar uma conexão entre as atividades da sala de aula e os contextos da vida real, essa conexão ainda não foi explorada adequadamente para tornar isso uma realidade em muitas salas de aula de matemática. Este artigo relata diferentes jogos indígenas que são jogados na África do Sul e na região da África Austral. Este artigo, também, identifica vários jogos indígenas populares na África do Sul e como esses jogos foram utilização para a promoção do patrimônio cultural, bem como discute exemplos do uso desses jogos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática nas escolas.
