Uma investigação integrada: o uso do Teorema de Tales como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem da geometria

Abstract

This paper presents an integrative review of methodologies used in teaching Thales’ Theorem and its application as a strategy for addressing related topics among upper elementary school students. Thales’ Theorem is a mathematical concept involving proportionality and triangle similarity. The research was exploratory and descriptive in nature, based on a bibliographic survey from sources such as Google Scholar and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. The findings reveal that employing tools like theater, models, software, and measurements of inaccessible heights helped make the teaching of Thales’ Theorem more dynamic, meaningful, and engaging for students. Ultimately, the benefits of immersive practices and activities are highlighted, demonstrating the potential of such strategies to positively impact and motivate learners by providing more significant and effective learning experiences.
