WANDERER, Fernanda  y  BOCASANTA, Daiane Martins. The use of games in mathematics classes: problematizing the truths of contemporary pedagogical discourse. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.77, pp.885-916.  Epub 29-Ene-2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v36n77a2022-63115.

The article aims to problematize the statement about the importance of teaching mathematics using games. The research material covers all the copies of Educação em Revista (ER), a periodical of the Private Teaching Union of RS. Using theoretical tools derived from Foucault's thought, the article examines the intertwining of the studied utterance with others in the educational field, which generate real effects in the discourse of contemporary mathematics education. The investigative work allowed us to identify: a) the support vectors of that statement are found in academic productions in the area of ​​Mathematics Education and in official documents; b) a re-updating of the statement showing strong similarities between school games to teach mathematics and digital technologies. The final considerations point to the constitution of a victorious narrative about the use of games in math classes, capturing teachers and students.

Palabras clave : Mathematics education; Private schools; Games; Statement; Michel Foucault.
