Atividades matemáticas para o Ensino Fundamental II: os alunos da escola do campo da região oeste do Estado do Paraná e a produção de tilápias

Abstract

The present research aims to develop mathematical activities for students from countryside schools. Within the scope of rural education is the family farming, and because fish farming is very present in the western region of the state of Paraná, the theme chosen was the production of Tilapia. There are several publications on the field education area, but few focused on pedagogical practices in this context. Thus, the activities originated from the search for bibliographic sources with themes related to countryside education - articles and works that present activities developed with students from country schools, and that supported us in the sense of organizing our activities different from the ones already developed with students from middle school. Mathematical Modeling will be present as a pedagogical alternative for use in the classroom. Our research will have a qualitative and exploratory content. We hope, with this proposal, to contribute with ideas of activities for mathematics teachers, more specifically, for those who work with students in rural schools, since there is no didactic material focused on this aspect of countryside education.
