As dificuldades encontradas por alunos do 6º ano do ensino fundamental: resolução de problemas fracionários

Abstract

It is known that mathematics is indispensable in people's daily lives and consensus that the vast majority of students have difficulties in solving contextualized problems of mathematics. Considering the relevance of the content of fractions, the present work aims to identify the difficulties faced by 6th grade students in solving contextualized mathematical problems about fraction. To achieve the proposed objective, a research was drawn up with qualitative and exploratory methods, through bibliographic and field research, with a view to familiarizing with the problem. The research consisted of two moments, reading of works already published on the subject and application of a questionnaire in order to detect these difficulties. With this research it is verified some causes of the difficulties, such as the non-formulation of the concept of fraction and the non-comprehension of the different semiotic representations of this mathematical object. In this way, it is found that a viable solution for this The problem would be to explore the concept and its different representations from the initial series associated with
