Geoplano e geoespaço como recursos didáticos para o ensino das propriedades das figuras geométricas

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of Geoplanes and Geospace as teaching resources for the properties of geometric figures, aimed at a sixth-grade class at the Francelino Pereira School Unit (Casa da Cultura Annex) in Angical do Piauí. The objective was to determine whether the use of these concrete materials favors the understanding of elements such as sides, vertices, angles, and faces, promoting a more visual and interactive approach. The qualitative and quantitative research involved 15 students divided into two groups: one with classes using Geoplanes and Geospace and the other without these resources. Both groups completed an initial diagnostic test and, at the end, an evaluation test with the same content. The results showed that the group using these materials performed better and demonstrated greater interest, actively participating in class and asking to interact with the material. The conclusion is that these playful resources contribute to more meaningful and participatory learning, helping to demystify mathematics and make it more accessible, encouraging students to learn.
