Potencial das figuras geométricas dos espaços públicos da cidade de Uruçuí - PI para o ensino de matemática

Abstract

Geometric figures are found in several works carried out by the human being, and when they are explored in teaching, learning becomes more significant. The objective was to analyze the potential of geometric figures present in urban public spaces in the municipality of Uruçuí-PI, in a perspective of contribution to the mathematics teaching-learning process. The study of an investigative nature was enhanced through the mapping of flat and spatial geometric figures present in the public spaces of the city under study and of free access to visitation by students and teachers in general. From the schematization of these figures, the moment of capturing photographs was planned, whose collection was intended to assist in the discussion of the need to contextualize the theoretical aspects presented in the textbooks and the potential of open access variables present for this practice. Aspects of each figure were analyzed, relating the selected structure, comparing the similarities present in the illustrations, and its characteristics can be associated, so that it can awaken in teachers a perspective outside the classroom. In the analysis, it was possible to observe that the public spaces of Uruçuí-PI have buildings that favor the exploration of Geometry. The shapes present in these spaces can be used as tools to contextualize the study of plane and spatial geometry.
