Processo de ensino e aprendizagem de polígonos no Ensino Fundamental, na perspectiva da Investigação Matemática

Abstract

The work shows how research practice allows students to conceptualize what are the polygons. The activity was held with the divisions of the 7th Elementary School Year a public school in the municipality of Contagem, Minas Gerais, metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. The proposed activity took place in two stages, the first students sought the concept of polygons and the second did an exercise where applied the concept learned. During the implementation of the activity the students showed a great curiosity, seek the information was a satisfying challenge. To realize and analyze the results of the activities, we seek texts referring to the teaching of geometry is approached as the textbooks have polygons and how it is used the practice of research in mathematics education. The research practice in teaching and learning of geometrical concepts is method that brings as a result satisfactory results.
