A utilização da metodologia de resolução de problemas no estudo de função afim

Abstract

This work was developed in the U.E: Professor José Leandro Deusdará, located in the city of São Raimundo Nonato-PI in a class of 9th year of elementary school. Mathematics is an area of paramount importance for the development of society, because through it we can solve several problem situations of our day to day. In this way we use the methodology of problem solving to study Function Afim due to the following reasons: previous knowledge of the students on the subject, and also several types of problems of reality with applications of this content. The general objective was to favor the teaching of Function Afim through problem situations. While the specific objectives are: to stimulate students' curiosity and logical reasoning; Realize the importance of troubleshooting steps and improve the interpretation of different mathematical situations. For an effective development of the activities carried out in the classroom, we organized the didactic sequence into five parts. After analyzing the results, we conclude that this teaching methodology contributes to the teaching of the students who were willing to participate actively in the activities. The interpretation and the understanding of the concept of mathematical problem were some of the results that we observed with the accomplishment of this research
