O ensino de geometria nos anos finais do ensino fundamental no município de Bayeux - PB: um caso em estudo

Abstract

The present dissertation, developed in the line of Teacher Formation of the Graduate Program in Science and Mathematics Teaching - Professional Master's Degree - UEPB, aimed to analyze the geometric knowledge about polygons and polyhedra taught during the Final Years of Elementary Education, we carried out a literary review of authors who emphasize the importance of teaching and learning geometry in basic education, in order to develop our object of study, characterized by pedagogical practices and theoretically systematized findings about the teaching of geometry in elementary school. The present work had as theoretical basis based on studies carried out, such as those by Pavanello (1993), Lorenzato (1995), Valente (2014), Pais (2010), Gouvêa (1998) and Nacarato (2009), which discuss about the gaps and challenges of teaching geometry in Brazil. Our methodological proposal had a guiding principle anchored in qualitative, exploratory and action research. The study consisted of 12 teachers subject to the research, graduated in mathematics and permanent employees of the Paraíba state school system, who work in the municipality of Bayeux-PB ,. the technique of data collection based on bibliographic review, application of questionnaire interviews and workshops.
