Dificuldade na aprendizagem em equações do primeiro grau no ensino fundamental: uma investigação bibliográfica.

Abstract

This study investigates the difficulties in learning first-degree equations in elementary education, a topic of significant relevance in the Brazilian educational context. The research highlights that the teaching of Mathematics faces structural challenges that impact students' understanding and proficiency. Data show that the lack of ongoing training and appreciation for teachers, combined with inadequate pedagogical approaches, contribute to students' poor performance. Furthermore, the relationship between socioeconomic status and performance in Mathematics reveals inequalities that hinder learning. The research also addresses the implications of popular perceptions about Mathematics, which often discourage students, and proposes teaching strategies that can facilitate understanding of first-degree equations, promoting a more inclusive and effective education.
