Indução de estratégias de aprendizagem matemática nas questões das provas da OBMEP

Abstract

This research promotes a study on a proposal for Mathematics Teaching based on Problem Solving of Mathematical Olympiads. The main objective of this study was to analyze the teaching of mathematics through the Resolution of Olympic Problems, more specifically, proposed in editions of the Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of Public Schools (OBMEP), of the banks of questions suggested by the organizers of these, to train students for Olympic competitions can really influence the formation of mathematical concepts and the elaboration of schemes for problem solving. Here we make a historical approach to the mathematics Olympiads of public schools, as well as a small analysis of research related to the subject to establish a re view of the literature, as there is an attack on theoretical references by visiting the Conceptual Field Theory of Gérard Vergnaud and we have discussed some approaches to Problem Solving made by area authors. Then we analyze the tasks performed by the students, and these analyzes revealed how the students make use of the schemas, creating strategies to solve the problems and consequently forming concepts and understanding the contents of mathematics. Finally, we make some considerations about the data obtained.
