Uma Proposta de Sequência Didática Baseada no Desenvolvimento do Pensamento Geométrico Segundo a Teoria Van Hiele

Abstract

Working with a construction of geometric concepts is essential for student development. To think geometrically looking the nature around them is a human activity that has been constructed throughout history, but we seem it is forgethed in the current school grade. It is not difficult to find students who do not feel affinity for the study of Geometry, generally feel uncomfortable when faced with situations that require a geometric solution. Our research aim to collaborate with the school grade, bringing the study of geometry to a classroom, way that it is taught so that the student can visualize the construction of his concepts and not only get results through substitution in formulas without understanding where and when to apply them. Therefore, our contribution is to give visibility to the issue and to foment the academic discussion of the same, seeking a way to the difficulties encountered by different authors who research in this area, presenting a didactic sequence addressing the area of 1-D figures, based on van Hiele Theory and following the assumptions of Didactic Engineering with a research purpose as difficulties with this geometric content.
