Mobilização de ideias matemáticas na construção de casas no Caburi - implicações para o ensino da matemática

Abstract

In order to understand the mathematical ideas mobilized in the construction of houses in Caburi, analyzing if it is possible to insert such ideas in an educational context, in order to improve the process of teaching learning, we conducted a qualitative research with two carpenters in Agrovila do Caburi , located 42 km from the headquarters of the Municipality of Parintins. For the construction of the data, we use direct observations; semi-structured interviews; photographic records and documentary analysis. The results indicate that in the activities developed in the practice of the carpenters there is the confrontation and the resolution of situations that are specific to the professional context, and in the search of resolution for these situations that present themselves, and throughout the practice, the subjects mobilize mathematical ideas that can be related through the contextualization with contents taught in the school, mainly in Elementary School. This relationship can be a means of teaching mathematics, as well as encouraging students to become more interested in learning the discipline by finding meaningful references in the content they are studying in a context closer to the reality they experience.
