Dificuldades na resolução de problemas com equações do 2º grau no 9º ano em Cocal-PI

Abstract

The present work was developed in six public schools located in Cocal-Piauí, in six ninth grade classes, totaling 139 students. The research aimed to investigate the main difficulties of ninth grade students in solving second degree equations, in a direct approach to the practices, methods and work of the teachers of the respective classes, as well as the students performance in solving problem situations involving content worked on this study. The research was carried out in three stages: didactic-pedagogical evaluation, diagnosis and contextualized questionnaire, which analyzed relevant data and information to obtain the results. The research demonstrated underperforming performance and found difficulties in solving, reading, interpreting, decoding and some basic concepts related to the second degree equations, allowing through this sample of classes a closer knowledge of reality with regard to learning the subject mathematical content covered
