Ensino de polinômios no ensino médio uma nova abordagem

Abstract

This dissertation aims to propose a new approach in teaching polynomials. As this subject is worked in the last year of high school, we offer a proposal focused on higher education, but in an investigative and intuitive way while emphasizing the definitions and theorems. In the first chapter we will make a historical overview about the study of polynomials, highlighting the most important facts and their researchers, as well as their relevance. In the second chapter we will deal with the way the subject is approached in schools and books currently in high school in Brazil, emphasizing the important aspects that we think should be revised. A new proposal for the study of polynomials is presented in the third chapter. We conclude with the fourth chapter where we report the partial application of this proposal in a class of third year of the technical computer course in IFRS - Câmpus Ibirubá.
