Teaching games as an effective alternative for teaching mathematics and inclusion of the theme of environmental education

The present work aimed to investigate the limits and possibilities of using games as sustainable technology as an alternative to work the Mathematics discipline, which is considered complex, in a contextualized, creative way and in a way that would arouse the interest of students towards the content of the curriculum matrix, but also to the importance of sustainability in the current context. A mathematical game called Geometry Trail was made from low-cost materials aimed at teaching flat figures present in the final years of elementary school and then an interview and training was held with 20 teachers in the area of mathematics in which it was found that, in their opinion, the idea of didactic games as a strategy to work with Mathematics content allied with the theme of environmental education, is an effective alternative that enables meaningful learning and allows the student to recognize himself as a transforming agent and that he can contribute for a preserved environment.
