Áreas e distâncias na agrimensura: uma proposta didática de modelagem matemática para o ensino fundamental e médio

Abstract

This paper proposes didactic sequences using the calculation of areas and distances in surveying directed to primary and secondary education with the objective of proposing lessons with activities that allow the research by students, which provide motivation and significant learning. To ensure an effective teaching method, the proposal described discusses actions where students perform activities of mathematical modeling, handling materials for making measurements and calculate areas and/or distances. This practice directs research mathematics that works to drive the student to apply the content seen in the classroom. The proposed activities are alternatives that allow the teacher to coordinate the construction of knowledge so motivating, as it encourages the student to opportunity to experience of practical and active mode the use of concepts and mathematical results as indispensable tool for this kind of work. So, the mathematical content are seen as relevant, where the student recognizes the presence of mathematics in reality.
