Modelagem e aplicações matemáticas na confecção do molde de vestuário: Um caso de estudo

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on our concerns about the teaching and learning process of mathematics in the Clothing Modeling Technical Course. The piece of research aimed to implement a sequence of three activities that relate mathematics with the construction of clothing modeling. A total of ten meetings took place from September 11th to November 21 , 2014, with two groups in the morning and afternoon shifts. The carried out work aimed to meet the needs referring to the planning and development of the subject Applied Mathematics of the Clothing Modeling Technical Course, where at each four-hour meeting the contents of Basic Mathematics and Plane Geometry as well as the use of the contents in the modeling construction were explained. The piece of research emphasizes a case for study as it presents a narrative and descriptive text. Finally, the mathematical behavior and development of each student were analyzed and the socialization among themselves while making up the modeling and solving the other activities was perceived. This enabled them to understand the role of mathematics in its social context and, therefore, in the future, these students will become professionals with more reflexive knowledge.
