Uma análise didática da história da matemática no livro didático no ensino fundamental II

Abstract

In recent decades, education experts and guidelines have encouraged including the history of mathematics in textbooks. This encouragement is given because, if the history of mathematics is worked on correctly, it can play the role of highlighting the essence of the content worked on, clarifying the relationship of the content with the needs of society and thus making learning more meaningful and enjoyable. However, there is concern about whether the history in the books is fulfilling its role, or is there just to meet demands. Thus, this study sought to answer the question: 4 Is the history of mathematics included in the elementary school II textbook adopted at the Itajacy Pacheco School Unit, in Uruçuí, Piauí, fulfilling its didactic role? This study was developed through bibliographic research using a critical-descriptive analysis of the textbook adopted at the Itajacy Pacheco School Unit, in Uruçuí, Piauí. The results showed that the books analyzed are suitable for the teaching and learning process since they were analyzed for the use of the history of Mathematics. According to the didactic functions, they follow the recommendations of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC)
