The definition of table has not been introduced in Brazilian textbooks for the early years of elementary school. We see that charts and databases have been named tables but are not approached in the same way. This makes it impossible for students to differentiate between them, which may cause learning difficulties. Therefore, it is essential that we reflect on students' knowledge about table, which is an instrument that systematizes information so that they can visualize reality. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the knowledge students from the 1st to 5th grade of elementary school have about representations in tables. To this end, 325 students (6 to 10 years old from 19 classes from different public schools in Greater Recife) participated. Students were asked to answer six activities individually, four of interpretation of a single and a double entry table with qualitative and quantitative variables, and two activities involving the construction of a table from a database or set of figures that needed to be classified. The results show that students’ performance progress in all activities, and that they present better performance in table interpretation than in table construction. Since the 1st grade the students were able to construct tables with one variable, however, to construct a table with two variables showed to be very difficult even for the 5th graders. In all grades the students had difficulties to make decisions based on the data presented, what is the function of table representation. This may be due to the absence of teaching practices focused on the table as a learning object. Abstract: Portuguese A definição de tabela não foi introduzida nos livros didáticos brasileiros dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Observamos que quadros e bancos de dados vêm sendo nomeados de tabelas e não são abordados da mesma maneira. Isso causa uma indiferenciação entre os mesmos e dificulta a aprendizagem. Então, é fundamental refletir sobre os conhecimentos dos alunos sobre tabelas, uma vez que essas têm a função de sistematizar informações para que se possa ter uma visão da realidade. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar o conhecimento de alunos do 1º ao 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental sobre representações em tabelas.  Para tal, participaram 325 alunos (6 a 10 anos de idade de 19 turmas de diferentes escolas públicas do Grande Recife). Foi solicitado aos alunos que individualmente respondessem seis atividades, quatro de interpretação de tabelas simples e de dupla entrada, com variáveis qualitativas e quantitativas e duas atividades envolvendo construção de tabelas, a partir de um banco de dados ou de um conjunto de figuras que precisavam ser classificadas. Os resultados mostram que o desempenho dos alunos evolui em todas as atividades, e que eles apresentam melhor desempenho na interpretação de tabelas do que na construção de tabelas. De o 1º ano os alunos conseguiram construir tabelas com uma variável, porém, construir uma tabela com duas variáveis mostrou-se muito difícil mesmo para os alunos do 5º ano. Em todas os anos os alunos tiveram dificuldade em tomar decisões a partir dos dados apresentados e compreender a função das representações em tabelas. Tais dificuldades podem ser em função da ausência de práticas de ensino focadas na tabela como objeto de aprendizagem.

Resumo: A gênese do número em crianças é um estudo que merece destaque quando tratamos da linguagem matemática nos anos iniciais, visto que a não compreensão deste conceito remete a dificuldades de aprendizagem na área da matemática. Sendo assim, entendemos que este estudo pode contribuir para a prevenção e para a intervenção de educadores no intuito de minimizar essas dificuldades. Este estudo busca responder ao seguinte questionamento: “O que garante dizer que uma criança, ao contar verbalmente uma sequência numérica, tenha de fato constituída a noção do número?” Através dos estudos realizados por Piaget, procuramos abordar alguns pontos que devam ser considerados pelos educadores, a fim de responder a este questionamento. Para isso, apresentamos um experimento prático que visa compreender as noções de conservação de quantidades contínuas. Em seguida, detalhamos a análise quanto às possíveis respostas dos sujeitos e aos três diferentes níveis de pensamento descritos por Piaget e Szeminska (1971). Por fim, discutimos sobre as implicações que a não compreensão do número acarreta no ensino e na aprendizagem de matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. De fato, o que se observa é que a não compreensão do número por parte das crianças pode vir a interferir em toda sua trajetória de aprendizagem matemática. Palavras-chave: Epistemologia Genética. Matemática. Construção do número. MATHEMATIC LANGUAGE IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: CONSTRUCTION OF A NUMBER ACCORDING PIAGET Abstract: The genesis of the number in children is a study that intends to be highlighted when we think about the language of mathematics in the Elementary school, seeing as the non-understanding of this concept refers to learning difficulties in mathematics. Thus, we understand that this study can contribute to the the intervention of educators in order to minimize these difficulties. This study seeks to answer the following question: “What guaranties saying that a child when verbally counting a numeric sequence has in fact the notion of the number constituted?” Through the studies conducted by Piaget, we seek to address a few pointers that should be considered by educators, in order to answer to this question. For such, we present a practical experiment which aims to comprehend the notions of conservation of continuous quantities. Afterwards, we detail the analysis as to the possible answers from the subjects and the three different thinking levels described by Piaget and Szeminska (1971). Lastly, we discuss the implications that the non understanding of the number cause on the teaching and the learning of mathematics in the early years of the basic education. Indeed, what is observed is that the non understanding of the numbers by part of the children may interfere in the whole of their mathematical learning. Keywords: Genetic Epistemology. Mathematics.

Natural Science is an elementary school subject that requires students to organize ideas and concepts about the natural world gained from experiences through a series of scientific processes such as investigating, composing, and presenting ideas.  The high complexity causes many cases of learning difficulties. This study aims to diagnose the learning difficulties that occur on 5th-grade elementary school students. The research was conducted in Muhammadiyah Pakem Elementary School, Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Regency.  The subjects were 29 of 5th-grade elementary students. Data collection techniques were interviews, tests, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were descriptive statistic as a quantitative analysis and interactive model as a qualitative analysis. The learning difficulties were diagnosed by describing the students who were identified having learning difficulties; localizing the difficulties; and determining the factors that cause learning difficulties. The results showed that the difficulties experienced by students were in basic competence 1.1-1.5 (human blood circulation organs). The average percentage of students’ learning difficulties in Basic Competence 1.1 was 48%; Basic Competence 1.2 was 51.1%; Basic Competence 1.3 was 57.6%; Basic Competence. 1.4 is 64.7%; and Basic Competence 1.5 is 53.7%. The highest percentage of learning difficulties was in Basic Competence 1.4 (identifying human circulatory organs). It was caused by the students’ low attention and motivation to learn natural science, the imprecise teaching methods, the parents’ attention, and the negative influence of mass media.

Resumo: No Brasil, desde a publicação dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (1997), os conteúdos de Estatística e Probabilidade fazem parte dos currículos e foram reafirmados na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (2017, 2018). Neste artigo, objetiva-se apresentar um breve contexto histórico sobre Probabilidade e Acaso. Outro aspecto será a discussão da questão curricular envolvendo essas duas temáticas as quais podem ser trabalhadas nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental (1.º ao 5.º ano), apresentar preâmbulo sobre o potencial dos jogos, exemplificar propostas para a sala de aula que permita trabalhar noções iniciais de probabilidade por meio de um jogo e de atividades investigativas, introduzindo assim as primeiras noções para posteriormente aprofundá-las nos anos seguintes. Esperamos subsidiar também o trabalho do professor e desmistificar o ensino de Probabilidade com as crianças nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Palavras-chave: Educação Estatística; Probabilidade; Jogos; Formação de professores; Currículo. Account and challenges in initial years: potential of games as mediators in construction of knowledge Abstract: In Brazil, since the publication of the National Curricular Parameters (1997), the contents of Statistics and Probability are part of the curricula and were reaffirmed in the National Curricular Common Base (2017, 2018). This article aims to present a brief historical context about Probability and Chance. Another aspect will be the discussion of the curriculum issue involving these two themes which can be worked on in the Early Years of Elementary School (1st to 5th grade), presenting preamble about the potential of games, exemplifying proposals for the classroom that allow you to work on initial notions of probability through play, and investigative activities, thus introducing the first notions and then deepening them into subsequent years. We hope to subsidize the work of the teacher and demystify the teaching of Probability with the children in the Initial Years of Elementary School.

 Esse estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar as práticas docentes de professores de alunos com deficiência intelectual na escola regular. Trata-se de pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, com delineamento da pesquisa-ação. O estudo foi realizado em duas escolas públicas da rede municipal de Teresina (PI) e desenvolvido com seis participantes, professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, que atuavam na classe comum. Foram utilizados como procedimentos metodológicos diagnóstico dos conhecimentos prévios das professoras; sessões de estudo denominadas encontros de estudo; e observação. Para a produção das informações utilizamos a estratégia casos de ensino e, como instrumentos, o questionário e o diário de campo. Os resultados evidenciaram que as professoras não conseguiam organizar e implementar práticas diferenciadas da proposta curricular do ano escolar que o aluno estava frequentando. Elas utilizavam com os alunos com deficiência intelectual, atividades distanciadas do currículo da turma, que eram mais simples e mais fáceis. A falta de formação específica para trabalhar com alunos PAEE foi o elemento que mais se destacou como dificuldade, na fala das professoras, realçado pelo sentimento de despreparo para o trabalho.Palavras-chave: Prática docente.

It is a research of qualitative nature with delineation of the action research. The study was carried out in two public schools from the Municipal Network in Teresina (PI) and developed with six participants, tearchers from early years of elementary school who worked in the common class. As methodological procedures, it was used the diagnosis of the previous knowledge of the teachers; study sessions denominated study meetings; and observation. For information production, we have used the strategy teaching cases and, as tools, the questionnaire and the field diary. The results highlighted that the teachers could not organize and implement differentiated practices from the curricular proposal of the school year when the student was attending. They used activities distanced from the class’ curriculum which were simpler and easier with students with intellectual disability. The lack of specific training to work with students from Target Group Students in Especial Education (PAEE) was the most highlighted element as a difficulty in the comment of the teachers, outlined by the feeling of unpreparedness for work. Keywords: Teaching practice.

The purpose of this research to analyze errors of students answer to get a conception of learning obstacles in the fraction material in 4th grade of elementary school. This analysis is important as a basis to prepare teaching materials and to predict of student responses and how to anticipate. This research used the qualitative method. The research subjects were 32 student of 5th grade elementary school who had studied fractions in grade IV in Tasikmalaya Regency. Based on the results of analysis of test and interview data, there are several barriers on student learning. First, didactical obstacles were identified from mistake doing the test problems which is caused by how students studied and materials which used by students such as fraction material that did not clearly define how fractions was and emphasize knowledge procedures, then students do not study fractions through the partitioning process, somewhere partitioning will make learning easier. Second, epistemological obstacles as a result from errors in the processing of questions caused by the limited context of knowledge possessed by students. For example, the definition of fractions which are part of the whole, students are limited to that context without paying attention at the parts as equal/more or less. In addition, procedures of student understanding for example fraction simplification, fraction sequencing, and subtraction and addition of fractions are limited to certain questions. When the questions are different than usual, there are students who didn’t understand the purpose of the problem.

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.
