Jogo ''desafios dos primos

Abstract

This paper presents the Prime Challenge, a digital math game developed using GeoGebra software. Inspired by a question from OBMEP (Brazilian Public School Math Olympics), the game's main objective is to promote logical reasoning and the study of numerical properties, with a special focus on prime numbers. The rationale for this work lies in the need for innovative methodologies that make mathematics more accessible and attractive, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. The purpose of this work is to show the pedagogical potential of the game as an innovative Digital Educational Object. This study defines Game as a learning platform that, through rules and challenges, promotes engagement and knowledge acquisition. The game objects were created to be manipulable elements, such as pieces and buttons, which represent mathematical and programming concepts. With this work, it is hoped that educators will be able to use the Prime Challenge as a complementary teaching tool in the classroom, encouraging experimentation, logical thinking, and collaborative problem solving. For future work, it is suggested that the game be applied in the classroom to verify its pedagogical effectiveness, as well as to deepen the discussion of the mathematics behind its logic and explore winning strategies for the game.
