O uso de material concreto no ensino de cálculo integral: um relato de experiência no IFPI - Campus Corrente

Abstract

The present work has the objective of analyzing and discussing the contributions of practical activities in the teaching of Integral Calculus, from experiences provided by the use of concrete material during the lesson. The work is based on other studies in mathematical education. The field research was carried out with students of the Mathematics Degree course of the Instituto Federal do Piauí – Campus Corrente, From the application of a mini-course experimental activities merging the resolution of examples and measurement of the volume of solids. As an instrument of data collection, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the activities, applied to students, The results of the research indicate that the use of concrete material has contributed to awaken the uriosity of the students, And that making use of concrete material in the teaching of integral calculus helps to assimilate knowledge.
