Ensino e aprendizagem de alguns tópicos da função do 2º grau com o auxílio do software winplot no 1º ano do ensino médio

Abstract

This course conclusion work presents an analysis and reflection on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning process of the polynomial function of the 2nd degree in the 1st year of high school using free software Winplot. In addition, it presents a brief theoretical study of the use of technology for educational purposes. Through this study, we developed and applied a lesson plan in a class of 1st year of high school, which contained activities in which students should sketch the graphs of functions in software and, from observation and analysis of made plots, highlight the behavior of functions and reach conclusions that cater for all quadratic functions that have contact. Depending on the development of this work, it was possible to show the importance and the school's duty to introduce the technology in the teaching and learning to assist in mathematical content, is to become the most attractive and interesting lessons to students, is making students to interact with software, able to reach the conclusions objectified by analyzing the generated in the computer program material.
