ENSINO DE GEOMETRIA PLANA: contribuições didáticas de desenho geométrico na compreensão de polígonos regulares inscritos em circunferências

Abstract

This work seeks to understand how the use of teaching resources, such as rulers and compasses, can promote meaningful learning of plane geometry. The objective is to analyze how the use of geometric drawing contributes to the understanding of regular polygons inscribed in circles by second-year high school students. The question is: How can the use of geometric drawing facilitate the understanding of regular polygons inscribed in circles by second-year high school students? Many students struggle with this area of ​​mathematics, requiring a rethinking of pedagogical approaches in the classroom. The theoretical framework is structured into categories that cover everything from the historical foundations of geometry to effective pedagogical practices with the application of playful methods and teaching strategies that promote greater student engagement, referenced by authors such as (Holanda, 2020), (Kovalscki, 2019), (Lago, 2021), and (Giovanni, 2022). The qualitative, bibliographic, and field research involved collecting data from students. A teaching sequence was developed with the students, along with constructions using a ruler and compass. Comparing the results of the diagnostic questionnaire and the test tables after the workshop, significant progress was observed in their understanding of the topic.
