Matemática a partir das técnicas do ponto cruz: uma experiência com alunos do ensino fundamental na modalidade EJA

Abstract

The present work presents the report of an experience lived in the teaching/ learningprocess of the calculation content of areas of flat figures with parallel sides, wherewesought to analyze the contributions of Ponto Cruz as a teaching tool, for theconstruction of the mathematical knowledge of Youth and Adults. The researchwascarried out at the Maria de Castro Ribeiro State School in the city of SãoRaimundoNonato-PI, with students from the V elementary school stage of the EJAmodality. Forthis, an initial diagnosis was used in which it sought to investigate thestudents' previous knowledge regarding the content to be worked on. At another time, aworkshop was held, where students developed the techniques of crossstitchembroidery on fabrics. Then a micro-class was given, associating theembroiderytechniques to the content. Later, the students developed a constructionactivity,where they built figures using the Cross Stitch technique on paper. Finally, ananalysis was made of the knowledge acquired through the use of the methodologyand the opinion of the research subjects about the use of embroidery intheteachingof mathematics. Regarding the explored methodology, it can be concludedthat itpresented itself as a teaching tool that contributes both to contextualizationandalsoenables the teaching / learning of area calculations, which is consideredafacilitatingalternative in the mathematics learning process as it is an instrument that it provides,through its technique, the construction of flat geometric figures andencouragesstudents to develop logical reasoning among other skills
