Modelagem matemática e avaliação: uma proposta de trabalho com professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The Mathematical modeling has been configured as one possibility for Mathematics teaching, as well as a pedagogical alternative to get the Mathematics closer to real life. Having this on mind, we present a research developed with teachers from fourth grade of Elementary School to analyze how they use Mathematical Modeling as a pedagogical alternative. This investigation was relevant once it was possible to infer that a lot of teachers from this context don’t consider Modeling as a way for Mathematics teaching and that, evaluating the entire path taken during the activity is quite valuable. It is clear to see, during teachers meetings, the importance of the modeling practices on teachers’ learning process, once their assumptions and options about it were very similar to the students from elementary school.
