This research brings in its scope notes on the use of digital games and software for learning
mathematics at the Escola Estadual Girassol de Tempo Integral Agrícola David Aires França,
located in the rural area of the municipality of Arraias/TO. Given the current context of the
use of technologies in education, several researchers and educators are looking for alternatives
to promote the learning of content. In view of this, some teachers have adopted different
practices from conventional classes that seek to motivate students to become interested in this
science. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze how educational digital games
and the use of software contribute to the learning of Geometric Solids by third-year high
school students. To achieve this, we apply a didactic sequence using digital games and
software, as facilitating tools in the teaching and learning process of Geometric Solids
content. The theoretical foundation was based on a survey of research on the Google Scholar
platform and the CAPES Journal Portal on the topic in question, from which articles,
dissertations and theses were extracted, as well as from authors already established in the
area, such as Prensky ( 2012), D'Ambrósio (2012) and Zabala, (1998), in a didactic sequence.
As for the methodological approach, it is a qualitative research, whose instruments for
obtaining results were: participant observation, semi-structured questionnaires, in addition to
the material produced during the application of the didactic sequence. It was possible to see
from the results of this research that digital games and software make the process of teaching
and learning Mathematics more dynamic, and Mathematics itself can be worked on in a more
creative and motivating way, providing new paths for the construction of knowledge and the
teaching process. Therefore, the research revealed contributions to the mathematics teaching
and learning process, providing participants with a dynamic, critical and reflective learning
environment.
