Utilização de caleidociclos no ensino de geometria: uma proposta metodológica para o ensino médio

Abstract

At work, we analyze the use of caleidociclos as proposed instructional sequence for teaching and learning of geometrical concepts, developed in the meetings held during the workshop caleidociclos, which involved students from two grade school of the College and College Model - in the city of Curitiba/PR with the intention to propose and use resources that diversify the development of activities for teaching and learning of mathematics in elementary school. The data presented in the study were collected during the implementation of the workshops in the education institution, which occurred for four Fridays in the afternoon, time shift from the regular activities of the participants. The activities proposed to develop and enhance students' knowledge of geometry involved in the workshops, with the main focus of caleidociclos the constructionand visualization of geometric concepts in this and other materials exploited moreemphasis during the meetings. At the end of the meetings it became clear that the environment provided for the development of activities and proposed work, helped in the development of new concepts related to geometry, and there was a greater narrowing of the teacher / student ratio, enabling activities have enriched the knowledge students in mathematics. Following the work there is a proposal for implementing the instructional sequence Caleidociclos Workshop. To enrich the work was a booklet that offers an instructional sequence for the application of the workshop for other teachers.
