Considerações sobre o uso da linguagem na sala de aula de Matemática

The main goal of this work is to build a sketch on how language is used in mathematics classrooms. We specifically try to understand how teachers use language in order to share meanings with their students. We initially present our main intentions, summarizing some studies that are close to our purposes. The two theoretical frameworks which support our study – the Model of Semantic Fields and the Wittgensteinian “games of language” – are then presented and discussed about their similarities and distinctions. Our empirical data are some classroom activities recorded and turned into “clips”. Such clips were transcribed and our analysis was based on these transcriptions. Data analysis – developed according to our theoretical framework – allowed us to build the so-called “events” and, then, comment on some understandings on how language can be used in mathematics classrooms.

Modelagem Matemática e Análise de Modelos Matemáticos na Educação Matemática

In this paper we present two studies, the first one completed and the second one in development, which are based in teaching approaches that propose the qualitative study of mathematical models as a strategy for the teaching and learning of mathematical concepts. These teaching approaches focus on subjects from Higher Education such as Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations and Topics of Differential and Integral Calculus. We denominate this common aspect of the teaching approaches as Model Analysis and in a preliminary level we relate it with Mathematical Modeling. Furthermore, we discuss some questions related with the choice of the theme and the role of Digital Technologies when Model Analysis is applied.

Cartografias contemporâneas: mapa e mapeamento como metáforas para a pesquisa sobre a formação de professores de Matemática

This essay sketches some principles according to which a research project called “Mapping of math teacher education and practice in Brazil” is been conducted by a group of researchers with the objective of understanding the way policies related to teacher education and practice are effectively implemented in different regions of the country. The main objective of this article is, therefore, to discuss the pressupositions of this project, its foundation, the basic beliefs in which it is rooted. In order to emphasize such principles, some remarks on theorization, methodology, teacher education, narratives and on the concept of mobilization/apropriation are done. The essay is based on a metaphor built on cartographical practices.

Aplicando o jogo Avançando com o resto no Ensino de Matemática

Como é conhecido pela maioria, infelizmente, o ensino de matemática vem enfrentando muitas dificuldades. Cerca o ensino dessa disciplina mitos, preconceitos, que fazem com que o estudante, muitas vezes, já chegue à escola com medo das aulas de matemática. Por outro lado, ainda perdura em muitas escolas um ensino focado na reprodução e não na construção do conhecimento, apesar de alguns professores buscarem alternativas para tornarem as aulas mais atrativas, priorizando atividades interessantes e motivadoras. O famoso livro didático e os caderninhos de apoio enviados pela secretaria do estado da educação ainda continuam sendo os principais recursos disponíveis na sala de aula. Os exercícios e listas, muitas vezes considerados intermináveis, buscam sem sucesso fixar um conhecimento que muitas vezes não foram se quer apropriado pelos alunos. Diante do exposto faz-se necessário pensar em transformações no ensino de matemática que ultrapassem a simples reprodução de exercícios e permitam tanto para o professor, quanto para o aluno um ensino mais atraente e desafiador e principalmente repleto de significados. Dessa forma, este estudo tem como objetivo mostrar ao aluno, a partir dos jogos matemáticos, a diversão e, também, a superação, possibilitando a construção de aprendizagens significativas.

O rádio e as matemáticas: um estudo sobre o Projeto Minerva

According to our conceptions, to study the so called Projeto Minerva (PMi) – an action of Brazilian Military Dictatorship, implemented in the 1970s, which intended to provide access to Primary and Secondary Schools for thousands of Brazilians throughout the country, using a cheap, and at that time a widely -spread medium, the radio – implies to study not only a unique education strategy, but a variety of circumstances that allows it to be created and developed throughout its 10 years of existence in various Brazilian locations. Each circumstance, each region, each way of doing of each person involved in its development constitutes a different Minerva – that’s why we choose the plural to treat it: the Minerva ProjectS. In this paper we present one of the many possible histories about such project. Synthetically, we present some historiographical aspects of its creation, development and extinction and, based on a study about one of its lessons (related to Analitic Geometry), we try to evidence differences between a spoken mathematics and a written mathematics. According to the the oretical framework used in this text, inspired by the Wittgenstein's language philosophy, the Project articulates various mathematics, what is different of saying that the project deals with the "usual" Mathematics merely changing the way of communicate it.

A Resolução de problemas no ensino de matemática

The Troubleshooting is a methodology that stands out in mathematics teaching, it provides a meaningful learning, favoring the intellectual development of the student and the autonomous and critical thinking. In this work an exploratory study on the use of Problem Solving as a teaching strategy. Along it is discussed the importance of problem solving, which is a problem and their differences for years, the types of problems, how to solve a problem and as a teacher should apply problem solving in the classroom choosing problems and exercises adequate and properly questioning the student
