O ensino de matemática a partir do desenvolvimento do raciocínio lógico- matemático na perspectiva de Howard Gardner

Abstract

Mathematics is an essential discipline for the cognitive development of students, but it presents many difficulties in understanding its concepts. Therefore, it becomes necessary to seek methodologies that contribute to more effective learning. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, defines that each individual has different ways of learning, but that everyone is capable of developing diverse skills. In this context, this work discusses how logical-mathematical reasoning, from Gardner's perspective, can contribute to mathematics teaching, articulating it with the ideas of authors such as Libâneo, who highlights the teacher's role in the teaching process. Furthermore, it presents the RICA method, which contributes to conceptual understanding and student autonomy. The research is bibliographic and qualitative in nature. Through this work, it is concluded that innovative, contextualized, and basic investigative practices stimulate logical-mathematical reasoning and make mathematics teaching more meaningful and transformative.
