Feira de formas geométricas: uma experiência no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research is an educational product as a program of activities resulting from the "Feira de Geometria", a project of theoretical and practical geometry of the town of Passo de Camaragibe (in the state of Alagoas, Brazil). In the first part of the research was based on a literature with emphasis on the development of peoples. We stress the importance of geometry in the formation of people, however, we realize that your teaching has been disowned. For the database were used different mechanisms, for example: interviewing the students, observation, annotation and analysis of geometric practices in the classroom. To understand the object of study, the relationship between the geometric knowledge and practice of teachers, research such as Panavello (1989), Lorenzato (1995), Bicudo apud Valente (2002) and the theories of Pohl (1994) apud Justino (2011), about the correct way to learn about the 3D space, are emphasized. The collected data were analyzed supported the theories of teaching and learning geometry. After the database and execution of the project, the questionnaire was applied again (used before the project execution), where it was possible to evaluate the real effect of the geometry of the fair.
