O uso do software terrific triangle como ferramenta metodológica das aulas de matemática para alunos da 5ª série do Ensino Fundamental a E. E. E. F. Eduardo Vargas em Alegrete/RS

Abstract

This study was conducted with students from 5 th grade student from E. E. E. F. Eduardo Vargas, de Alegrete/RS, carried out from March to July 2011. This design was used Triangle Terrific free software, in order to encourage and assist the learning of mathematics with the introduction of new technologies in teaching methodology. Thus, we aimed to analyze the mathematical ability, as well as the knowledge gap in this area and the grade 5 students in order to strengthen and reframe pedagogical practices, and try to contribute to interest, creativity and thinking of them. We believe in the necessity of finding new methods that arouse students' interest about the mathematical knowledge. Classes held in 10 other day at work, in the opposite shift of the classes, computer lab where students were encouraged to perform calculations and equations with the help of software. After each period, they were invited to present their work, expectations, constraints and facilities promoted by the software application. At the end of this work, the results show that technology can spark interest and creativity of the students that, when stimulated by new teaching practices, come to see the subjects, especially mathematics, so diferente from the conventional, increasing their ability to learn and hence reducing their difficulties.
