RECURSOS DIDÁTICOS PARA APRENDIZAGEM DE CONCEITOS GEOMÉTRICOS NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

This article discusses the use of teaching resources for learning geometric concepts. Thus, considering the importance of practice and manipulation for the construction of knowledge in the teaching-learning process in mathematics. In this direction, a Field Research was carried out with the objective of analyzing the didactic resources that favor the learning of geometric concepts in 7th grade of elementary school. In this sense, an analysis of the teacher's textbook was carried out, observing the guidelines for the teacher, and, based on this, tracing paths to understand: how can teaching resourcesfavor the learning of geometric concepts in the 7th grade of elementary school? The theoretical discussion is based on three categories: didactic resources (SILVA, 2018; LEIVAS et al, 2018; BOTAS; MOREIRA, 2013), geometric concepts (JUNIOR, 2020; NOGAR and MARTIN, 2021; AQUINO, 2020) and Geometry in Elementary School (JUNIOR, 2020; AQUINO, 2020). The data were obtained by means of a workshop with the students, and the application of a semi-structured questionnaire with the mathematics teacher of the class. Reflections were provided on how the use of teaching resources can facilitate the learning of geometric concepts and it is evident that, in this context, the best choice of resources to be used in the classroom are those suggested by the book, which are easily accessible to the teacher. The study allows us to conclude that teaching resources facilitate the learning process of geometric concepts, since they stimulate the students to participate directly in this process, being them at the center of the learning process. When they play an active role in the construction of their own learning, the main favored geometric concepts that stand out with the application of teaching resources were: application and reduction in the plane and symmetries. And as for the resources, those best applied to this class and to the proposed objectives were the use of Geogebra software and works of art.
