Resolução de problemas no ensino da matemática: uma introdução à geometria fractal no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This study is inserted in the research field of Mathematical Education, aiming to articulate the methodology of Problem Solving to the content of Geometry. The work was developed in elementary school, involving students from a public school in Lavras do Sul / RS, during the month of April 2015. With qualitative nature, it was used as research tools: questionnaires, audio recordings and also reports produced. by the students. The implementation analysis shows that students do not have knowledge about Fractal Geometry and also do not know the methodology of Problem Solving. The results indicate that the articulation of the theme with the Problem Solving methodology should be developed more frequently in class so that students become familiar with the methodology.
