Teorema de Tales: o ensino e aprendizagem por meio de atividades experimentais

Abstract

The present research aims to investigate practical experiment applications involving the Thales' Theorem, seeking to verify how the use of these experiments can aid in a better understanding of mathematical concepts and select teaching strategies for the Thales' Theorem that promote the perception of how mathematics can be applied in our daily lives. Additionally, it aims to present the benefits that this practice brings to the teaching of mathematics. The search for these studies was conducted in the databases of Google Scholar and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), guided by the following question: What experimental activities are being implemented within the teaching methodologies of the Thales' Theorem? At the end of the search, it becomes evident that the utilization of this resource assists teachers in mathematics education by facilitating the internalization of knowledge and fostering a closer connection to the subject matter, thereby making the student the protagonist in the teaching-learning process and, consequently, promoting the development of new skills
