A Modelagem como estratégia de ensino e aprendizagem de geometria no 8º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This paper presents a didactic sequence elaborated and developed into two classes of eighth grade Municipal School Prof. Clori Benedetti de Freitas, located in the city of Dourados - MS. Following this teaching was possible to study geometrical concepts from a problem situation the student's reality being used as a teaching strategy to mathematical modeling, as this aims to interpret and understand phenomena of our day-to-day. This paper has the objective to introduce concepts of plane geometry and arouse greater interest of the students to the study of mathematics. In it, were proposed activities which were performed with students inside and outside the classroom, and the beginning with experimental activities and concrete materials. These activities are designed to allow students to apply the concept acquired in their daily lives, allowing this student to improve their understanding and knowledge of geometric concepts. Based on experiences during the work application and graphics that represent a quantitative analysis of successes and failures, in this work it was possible to take conclusions that the strategy was relevant to the understanding of geometric concepts studied, which may serve to application and improvement in future moments.
