Mathematics Teaching in Primary Education Series Initials: Training in Focus

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the (s) factor (s) which hinders (m) the learning of students entering the 6th grade of elementary school, there is a lag in terms of mathematical knowledge, especially in the four operations that are important to the understanding of other subjects such as operations with exponents etc. And one motive among many is related by the lack of trained professionals to practice math teacher role in the initial series. In the early series, professionals engaged in teaching have training in teaching degree in pedagogy. However, these early have a very diverse curriculum grades, leaving this way disciplines like mathematics in superficiality, as can be seen in pedagogy course grid Federal University of Para which only has a discipline called Theoretical and Methodological Foundations of Mathematics with 60 hours of activity. For this work, we used a literature review of articles and books that mentioned issues related to teaching in the initial series of basic education. The results indicated that some professionals, particularly pedagogues, do not have a solid background to teach the math classes, so it is recommended that the degree courses in pedagogy review their curriculum grades to meet the needs of students in the early of elementary school.
