Material Dourado e Tangram como aliados da prática docente

Abstract

This research addresses an attempt to circumvent the current reality of the teaching of mathematics in our country. Activities have been proposed, that can be included in the planning of the teacher, and at the same time, explore the construction of meaning by the students, helping to minimize the difficulties that they use to have in this school subject and making them receive the knowledge in the more enriching way. To this end, it argues the combined work between the components of elementary education mathematics (arithmetic, geometry and algebra), as well as the construction of tables for analysis and data organization, through the use of manipulable materials: Tangram and Golden Beads Material. These materials can easily be found within the school and which, in principle, would be used only in the firsts grades of elementary school. Strengthening this argument, we have historical studies on the Mathematics, a brief contextualization of the current teaching of this subject, as well as the legislation in force in our country. From this dissertation it can be seen that, even in the simple materials, we found strong allies in an attempt to enrich our classes and do something different and enlightening for the students.
