A modelagem matemática como estratégia facilitadora no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de áreas e perímetros de figuras planas na rede estadual de ensino

Abstract

This work talks about the influence of mathematical modeling in the teachinglearning process of mathematics in elementary school, high school and youth and adult education (EJA) grades. The National Curricular Parameters (PCN) are also related to the proposal of mathematical modeling as a tool in this process. Aspects of "doing mathematics" in the school context are approached, through investigation and theoretical basis. The work also reports an application of mathematical modeling as a teaching and learning strategy of perimeter and areas of plane figures in a contextualized way. This application of the modeling took place with students from the 2nd grade of high school at the State School of Elementary and Secondary Education Ilda Ferreira da Fonseca Martins. Through practical activities, construction of the school's floor plan, students applied the contents in everyday situations, which aroused interest and curiosity for learning, providing opportunities for meaningful learning and at the same time strengthening the affective bonds between educator and students.
