Geometria e sua funcionalidade no cotidiano

Abstract

Geometry is a content of mathematics that offers possibilities for students to analyze and represent an understanding of reality in an orderly and organized way for the process of teaching learning, thus building their own knowledge, in very significant ways, as they stimulate creativity, observation and comparison, fundamental tools for problem solving. In general, in the study of geometry we must emphasize the original and basic forms. With the objective of exploring some concepts of Plane and Spatial Geometry, such as area and volume, through the use of packages, which are present in the daily life of the student. Motivating them to participate in the teaching and learning process of the Mathematics classes with activities that involve concrete material. As a pedagogical alternative in the teaching of Geometry, it was decided to develop and analyze the applicability of geometry in the daily life of the students of the Third Year of High School of the Major Belarmino Côrtes State High School, located in the neighborhood Dirceu, in the city of Cruz Alta-RS . In this sense, a study on Geometry and its functionality in students' everyday life was carried out through the packages found in their day to day life.
