Estudo de sólidos geométricos com o auxílio do software Wingeom: uma proposta pedagógica

Abstract

Following in the footsteps of technology this project aims to propose a different way to teach the concept of geometric solids, treated in the 9th year of elementary school ( EF ) with the aid of Wingeom software, available for free on the website http://math.exeter.edu / rparris with the tutorial translated into twelve (12 ) languages being Australian, Croatian, Dutch, Hungarian, German, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Polish , Korean and Portuguese, the latter prepared with the help of Franciele Cristine Mielke. The Wingeom is a software aimed at promoting the educational processes in mathematics, because some of its applications assist the teaching and learning of geometry, in particular the spatial geometry. Thus, our goal is to explore some concepts of spatial geometry, which are strongly characterized by the visual aspect. It aims to present students with a dynamic form after exposure of some concepts in the classroom, use the room for Educational Technology ( STE) for brief presentation of the software functions and carry out some activities with the intent that students develop the competencies and skills set out in the Curriculum Reference State Schools of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, but nothing prevents the exploitation of resources offered by Wingeom is presented prior to the definitions in the classroom. This proposal was formulated based on the 9th grade (EF), the year that the study volume of the cylinder, cone, pyramid and prism (the first two are not the object of study of this proposal) is performed. According to the curriculum guidelines of the objectives of the study of mathematics in Year 9 is to obtain and use formulas to calculate volumes of geometric solids (straight prisms and compositions of these prisms)(MEC, 1997, p.82), activities were developed in order to enhance the knowledge acquired in previous years since the study of geometric solids is held during the 6th, 7th and 9th years of (EF), so some objectives and some of the skills and abilities necessary for the development of this proposal are related to the study ever conducted in previous years.
