Música no ensino de Matemática: Jovens musicalizando o conteúdo números naturais

Abstract

This research discusses the integration of music in teaching mathematics to address your use in teaching practice, emphasizing the construction of musical spoofs for students of the sixth grade in middle school based on the contents of the natural numbers, verifying your influence on student participation in math classes. The survey was conducted through participant observation in internal and external contexts the school environment with students residing in a peripheral area of the city of João Pessoa-PB, founded on a qualitative approach. Explored the content "natural numbers" with lectures, debates and participation of students in solving problems, using this content in the musical parodies produced by students. Theoretically, the research was based on the contributions of Popular Education (FREIRE, 1996), mathematics education (D ´ AMBROSE, 1996) and your relationship with the music (ABDOUNUR, 1999). When discussing the music as didactic resource Math classes with students of the sixth grade there has been greater participation during class to build musical texts containing the contents of mathematics and musical knowledge of the students. The inclusion of music in math class favored both the acquisition of scientific knowledge about student participation.
