Manipulações virtualizadas na compreensão do conceito de função linear: uma experiência com estudantes do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This ongoing project, covering primary ideas in relation to the study and manipulation of instruments in digital spaces through the construction of certain mathematical situations that lead to a class of elementary school students to provoke, discuss and understand the concept of linear function with interactions and understandings of technology in a virtualized environment. Thus, in the course of this document, it is proposed to present bibliographic reviews on conceptions and perceptions for the understanding of the concept of linear function in mathematics, manipulations of digital resources, use of technology with materials and understanding of representations and learning in the field of Mathematics Education. The objective of this project proposes to analyze the use of virtualized manipulations, use of language and its representations to understand the concept of linear function. The Educational Product (EP) was designed as a possible final contribution to teachers for their work in the classroom, focused on the notions of linear function with virtualized manipulations supported by digital resources following a qualitative methodology, organized within the following structure: formulations, application of situations, categorization of information and completion of the executions raised. Some of the main ideas of the project are related to the elaboration of an initial test with a diagnosis of previous concepts for the linear function aided by technological elements with an educational product that is focused on activities available in space to study the chosen theme with diversity of applications and digital resources. The conclusions of this writing aim to identify the relevance of the conceptions elaborated in the literature review with preliminary assessments that will be a source for classification and improvement of manipulations and dynamics with digital material in the classroom and synchronous or asynchronous spaces using technological surroundings.
