Modelagem e etnomodelagem matemática: desenvolvendo um projeto em uma escola de ensino fundamental de Itaara

Abstract

This work was done in order to make use of mathematical modeling as an alternative to the teaching and learning of mathematics and offer a greater interaction with the ethnomathematics, paying attention to the knowledge acquired by students in their home environment (day by day). The study was conducted at the Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Euclides Pinto Ribas, located in Itaara - RS, with a target composed by students in the 6th grade. The representation through drawings of two different environments (school and home), made by the students, as the first activity, is an important motivating point to continue the subsequent modeling activities as well as the development of mathematical content involved. In order to stimulate the organization and data collection and give the students an opportunity to learn mathematics in a way different from the traditional classroom activities and thus promote the interest of the mathematical content students learned in the classroom.
