A história da matemática e a aprendizagem dos alunos no ensino médio

Abstract

The history of mathematics is a fundamental element to understand how mathematical theories and practices were created, developed and used in the context of its time. Therefore, linking History to teaching and learning becomes a very useful pedagogical resource in the approach, especially for high school students. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate whether the history of mathematics was addressed in textbooks, if so, how it was applied, through a document analysis, whose successful experiences were sought with the approach to the history of mathematics in high school and textbooks didactic within a timeless frame from 2010 to 2021, a little over 10 years, a period that precedes and follows the approval and approval of major documents governing national education, with the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC) and the National Plan for Education (PNE). The results reinforce the importance of adhering to the history of mathematics as a more active methodology in teaching and learning high school students.
