Mathematics Teaching; Continuing Teacher Education; Elementary school-early years.
This study aimed to contribute to continuing education, specifically in Mathematics, for elementary level teachers who work in public schools in the Mato Grosso municipality of Barra do Bugres, as a way to improve their daily work. in the classroom. Analyzing the challenges and dilemmas faced by all those who deal with education, in this period of uncertainty and transformation, it was necessary to reflect on the importance of the role of the school in the continuing education of teachers, as well as the role of teacher education in the school. In other words, an attribution required by the modern world that is flexible, autonomous, creative and capable of taking decisions. Thus, continuing education, lasting two months and seventeen days, entirely online, for the educational training of teachers pedagogues with lectures and games workshops, came to the meeting of mathematical learning, in which a sequence of activities was organized, with games and preparation of materials, which could serve to support the teacher in their classes. It also provided opportunities for new experiences, moments of interaction, exchanges of ideas and debates on the challenge of teaching Mathematics to these teachers through this continuing education. Likewise, we sought to promote the updating and improvement of participants with lectures that included Ethnomathematics, digital technologies, active methodologies and specific mathematical learning objects, such as problem solving, quantities and measures, probability and statistics, geometry, numbers, and algebra according to Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC) skills. Therefore, in this research, with a qualitative approach, the speeches and records made in the chat, during the webnaries, and also activities delivered by the participating teachers after training, were used for the production of data. All these data were gathered in order to answer the following questions: "What are the possible contributions of a continuing education of teachers who teach Mathematics to the teaching of this discipline in the early years of elementary school, in the context of the curriculum reform promoted by the BNCC"? This research was based on researchers and advisors who discuss the teaching of Mathematics in the early years and also the continuing education of teachers who work at this level of schooling.
