Os benefícios do uso do computador no ensino da geometria em uma turma de 5ª série do ensino fundamental de Santana do Livramento

Abstract

This paper makes a comparative analysis of results obtained in the two classes of fifth grade of elementary education at a public school in Santana do Livramento in the discipline of mathematics, for the content of geometry. In one of the classes (class 51), the content was developed using only ordinary materials and the textbook and in the other class (class 52), besides these materials, educational software was used on geometry. We applied the same assessment instruments into two classes and the final results showed that in the class 51 5% of the students achieved the grade MB (very good) and 50% were in the range from I (poor) and S (satisfactory). In class 52 approximately 35% of the students reached grade MB (very good) and around 23,5% are in the range between I and S. The results show that planned and coherent use of the computer contributed in the teaching-learning process.
