Cálculo mental e a produção do conhecimento matemático

This text presents the research developed with students of the 5th year of elementary school at a public school in the city of Taubaté-SP, involved in solving problems involving the Mental Calculation. The read authors show that the Mental Calculation is relevant for the production of mathematical knowledge as it favors the autonomy of students, making it the most critical. Official documents that guide educational practices, such as the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais also emphasize that working with mental arithmetic should be encouraged as it has the potential to encourage the production of mathematical knowledge by the student. In this research work Completion of course the tasks proposed to students, who constituted the fieldwork to production data, were designed, developed and analyzed in a phenomenological approach. The intention, the research was to understand the perception of students in the face of situations that encourage them to implement appropriate technical and mental calculation procedures. We analyze how students express and realize the strategies for mental calculation in the search for solution to problem situations

A construção da ideia de número na educação infantil

This paper seeks to understand-the process by which the child in kindergarten builds the idea of number. Therefore we developed a qualitative study of phenomenological approach that involved field work in the classroom with children of four and five years. Starting from their real-world contexts, their experiences and using the natural language tasks are designed to help the student to go beyond the already known, analyzing how they thinks and what knowledge they bring their lived experience. By interference carried expanded mathematical ideas acquired. The analysis and interpretation of research data shows that the idea of number is built by children from all kinds of relationships created between objects and the world around them, and the more diverse are these experiences, the greater the understanding opportunities and development of mathematical skills and competencies. It showed also that, in kindergarten, children tread just a few ways to build the idea of number

Os níveis de desenvolvimento do pensamento geométrico: o aprendizado do conteúdo de polígonos numa perspectiva do modelo Van Hiele

This work studies the van Hiele model, the levels of development of geometric thinking and its learning phases. Using this knowledge, we prepared a Research Instrument to identify the Level of Development in Geometric Thinking (Levels of van Hiele) of Middle School students, related to contents of Polygons. We have applied this Research Instrument to 237 students from a public school (state) in Curitiba, and we made an analysis of the acquired data. We have improved the Instrument’s questions so that it can be used by teachers during the class. Helping to identify to which level content the student belongs, related to the proposed.

Programa Etnomatemática: ponderações da prática pedagógica

The aim of this present work is investigating the interest and motivation for learning, awakened in pupils when the educator practice is guided by the ethnomathematics perspective. The main question is: Can an ethnomathematic approach awaken enthusiasm in pupils, causing it to become more critic and active in building their knowledge? The methodology that guides the investigation is qualitative, based on technical arising of the ethnographic case study. Theoretical contributions that support the investigation are from the scientific methodology and from ethnomathematics. The research material is composed by: researcher’s field diary, audio recording of participant observation, interviews reports of community residents and students parents, highlighting the material produced by students. This study was developed on an 8º year of high school of rural community. During the work were prioritized the ethnomathematics concepts of the Ethnomathematic Program, which establish a link exchange, where the lecturers inserts themselves on the reality of pupils in a way that promote an appreciation of their identity and a commitment to their learning. The educator investigates and values the ideas of pupils throughout dialogues. There are challenges for the application of education with ethno mathematic perspective, pointed out by authors, listed and supplemented in the research. In this context, it is believed that the socio-cultural knowledge must be respect, and as they are understood their specialties, capabilities and characteristics, this can guide teaching practice, making significant process for pupils, providing appropriation of scientific knowledge. Analysis of research practice indicated that students, research subjects, when they decided contextual issues, with their way of life, felt appreciated. The conclusion is that, with continuous action of contextualized of school mathematics, from the recognition of the environment and of cultural identity, the educator has the opportunity of review their own participant condition, and therefore promote an enthusiasm for learning. Because a motivated pupil becomes active, since that the all project is guided in a significant theme.

A influência das histórias em quadrinhos no ensino da matemática: um saberfazer que permite a comunhão do paradidático com o didático numa busca insólita pela mudança da relação tecida entre a criança e esta ciência exata

Esta dissertação é o resultado do meu verouvirsentir e busca evidenciar que, nas relações desenvolvidas no processo do ensino da matemática, as histórias em quadrinhos podem-se revelar um instrumento eficaz para a aplicação de uma metodologia alternativa dotada de uma potência extraordinária na interlocução entre a criança e o conteúdo matemático. Nesse contexto, um dos maiores argumentos que encontro, ao final desta jornada, é que fica a percepção de que o livro didático adotado (referência para o conteúdo teoricoprático), em quase sua totalidade, não favorece que os alunos estabeleçam uma relação com a matemática pautada na atenção, curiosidade, alegria e outros fatores/elementos que permitam o crescimento cognitivo desses alunos na referida disciplina. A pesquisa é realizadasentida em uma escola particular de ensino fundamental e médio situada em Realengo em três turmas de 6 ano. Esses alunos variam entre 10 e 13 anos de idade e aproximadamente 90% deles são oriundos de famílias de classe média. Para realizarsentir esta pesquisa, percebo que, fundamentalmente, faço uso de duas metodologias que se revelam a priori: pesquisa-ação e o mergulho (ALVES, 2008). Realizo alguns diálogos que se consolidam como aporte teórico e que norteiam toda a minha escrita. Esses diálogos podem ou não aparecer nas citações que faço. Os diálogos invisibilizados pela minha escrita de modo algum foram menos importantes e tampouco são considerados menos relevantes, na verdade, conduzem minha escrita, misturando-se em minhas próprias palavras a ponto de se tornarem indissociáveis. Nesses diálogos, encontro-me com Michel de Certeau, Paulo Sgarbi, Nilda Alves, Humberto Maturana, Inês Barbosa, Von Foerster, Michel Focault, Edgard Morin, Will Eisner, Ginsburg, entre outros. Como resultados, ficou evidenciado que, ao oferecer a possibilidade de reescrita da teoria matemática através das histórias em quadrinhos, os alunos (na sua maioria) desenvolveram uma capacidade maior de concentração, atenção aos detalhes da própria teoria e a diminuição significativa da resistência ao conteúdo matemático. Uma velhanova linguagem? Em um velhonovo meio? Seja qual for a conclusão, a aventura do desafio na busca da construção de uma nova relação entre a criança e a matemática, por si só, permite a exposição de tensões e oportuniza o crescimento de todos. Nessa jornada, de ação em ação, busco fazer algo significativo.

Ensino médio: un olhar sobre o currículo de matemática na perspectiva de representaçôes semióticas

Essa comunicação apresenta uma pesquisa em desenvolvimento que busca investigar o currículo de Matemática das escolas estaduais de Ensino Médio do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, sob a ótica das representações semióticas como possibilidade teórica, didática e metodológica para o desenvolvimento dos conhecimentos e procedimentos matemáticos que fazem parte desse nível de escolaridade. No presente momento, a investigação de cunho qualitativo está centrada na análise do currículo de Ensino Médio e nos projetos pedagógicos das escolas pertencentes à área de abrangência da pesquisa. Também fazem parte do estudo as avaliações nacionais propostas para os egressos do Ensino Médio. Resultados preliminares apontam a necessidade de se trabalhar com “outras representações”, principalmente quando os documentos analisados consideram a resolução de problemas como princípio para a organização das atividades escolares, o que, entende-se, indica uma abertura para o trabalho com semiótica na matemática escolar do Ensino Médio.

Ensino de matemática, história da matemática e artefatos: Possibilidade de interligar saberes em cursos de formação de professores da Educação Infantil e anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.

This work is located at the shield of research that defends the use of Mathematics History, based on the utilization of historical artifacts at teaching activities, at Mathematics classrooms, and at graduation courses for teachers of Elementary School and of the first grades of High School. The general objective is to examine the possibility of the use of historical artifacts, at teaching activities, at graduation courses for teachers of Elementary School and of the first grades of High School. Artifact, at this work, is comprehended as objects, documents, monuments, images and other kinds of materials that make sense to the Human actions at the past and that represent what have been said and done at the Human history. At the construction of the theoretical-methodological way of the research we have based ourselves upon the ideas of the authors that are engaged at the teachers formation; at researchers adherents to the use of Mathematics History (MH) as a methodological resource, and at studies accomplished that elucidate the role of the artifacts at the history and as a mediatory element of learning. We defend the thesis that the utilization of historical artifacts at teaching activities enables the increasing of the knowledge, the development of competencies and essential abilities to the teacher acting, as well as interact at different areas of the knowledge, that provides a conception of formation where the teacher improves his learning, learning-doing and learning-being. We have adopted a qualitative research approach with a theoretical and pratic study disposition about the elements that contribute to the teachers works at the classroom, emphasizing the role of the Mathematics history at the teacher s formation and as a pedagogical resource at the mathematics classroom; the knowledge, the competencies and abilities of the historical artifacts as an integrative link between the different areas of the knowledge. As result, we emphasize that the proposition of using the MH, through learning activities, at the course of teacher graduation is relevant, because it allows the investigation of ideas that originate the knowledge generated at every social context, considering the contribution of the social and cultural, political and economical aspects at this construction, making easy the dialog among the areas and inside of each one The historical artifact represents a research source that can be deciphered, comprehended, questioned, extracting from it information about knowledge of the past, trace and vestiges of the culture when it was created, consisting of a testimony of a period. These aspects grant to it consideration to be explored as a mediatory element of the learning. The artifacts incorporated at teaching activities of the graduation courses for teachers promote changes on the view about the Mathematics teaching, in view of to privilege the active participation of the student at the construction of his knowledge, at the reflection about the action that has been accomplished, promoting stimulus so the teachers can create their own artifacts, and offer, either, traces linking the Mathematics with others knowledge areas.

Investigação histórica na formação de professores de matemática: um estudo centrado no conceito de função

In this study we analyzed the development of a teaching experience, involving students with a bachelor s degree in mathematics from UFRN, based on the history of mathematics and mathematical investigations with the aim of contributing to the improvement of the teaching-learning of mathematics. The historical investigation tasks were planned and applied in the classroom, focusing on functional thought. The results obtained during the experience were described and evaluated based on authors who support the assumption of investigation and history as an alternative to the learning of mathematics. We emphasize that the material of analysis consisted of a work diary, audio recordings, questionnaires with testimony of the students involved, and, in addition, the assessment of the teacher of that subject. With regard to the mathematical content, the study was restricted to the concept of function, forms of representation and notation. It was evident that students showed great improvement with regard to the necessary formalization of the mathematical contents which were focused on, and to the active involvement of the students at different stages of the study. We can affirm that the completed study certainly represents significant contributions to an approach in the teaching-learning of functional thought
