RECREATIONAL MATHEMATICS IN THE TRAINING OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE THEORY OF OBJECTIFICATION

Abstract

Recreational Mathematics is a methodological approach in Mathematics Education and involves games, puzzles, Recreational Problems, topological curiosities, magic, art, origami, in addition to other tasks of a playful-pedagogical nature. Thus, our research aimed to investigate the contributions of Recreational Mathematics to the training of Mathematics teachers, using the Objectification Theory as a theoretical and methodological basis. To achieve our objective, the methodology used was qualitative and exploratory. In this way, we are based on the theoretical-methodological references of authors who deal with Recreational Mathematics and the Theory of Objectification, such as Bártlová (2016), Nunes (2019), Bezerra (2021; 2022; 2023) and Radford (2018; 2020; 2021). The results demonstrated the interrelationship between the Objectification Theory and Recreational Mathematics, evidencing its implications in teacher training and future pedagogical practice.
