Uso do PBL no ensino de geometria do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The research presents a study about the use of the Problem Based Learning in Maths subject and more specifically, in Geometry classes between elementary students, both regular study and education of young people and adults, from the observation of little interest in maths subject by the students during such levels. For this purpose a historic and philosophic foundation was done, upholding its use in many maths areas.To underpin the layout of a pedagogical proposition for each teaching method mentioned, there was an analysis and evaluation of the documents that rule the Brazilian education, in textbooks adopted currently including the menus of the subjects related in maths degree courses, as an comparison between them. The work culminates with the presentation of the pedagogic sequences, presented in three parts, first in an explanatory way of the use of the methodology in general way, and in the next two steps with concrete propositions, specific and detailed, one for the seventh grade elementary school, regular study, and the other one for young people and adults education in primary cycle.
