O laboratório de matemática para o processo de aprendizagem de frações

Abstract

The present work aimed to map and gather elements through the investigation that make it possible to analyze, reflect and understand the learning of fractions through the Mathematics Laboratory of Elementary School and was developed from two investigative activities involving the concrete materials Tangram and Régua of Fractions. The research was carried out in a Laboratory class for the Elementary School of the Mathematics-License Course and was later complemented with an observation of the application of one of these activities in a Municipal School of Bagé, through two teachers, one in initial training and another graduate. This is qualitative research. The data analyzed in the research were produced by the answers of the academics' activities and by questionnaires answered by the referred research subjects and by the participating professor. The analysis of these data demonstrated the potential of these materials for learning fractions.
