Uma sequência didática envolvendo o sistema métrico: a produção de significados matemáticos sob o olhar do modelo campos semântico

Abstract

The research presented has in its motivation theintention seeking possible answersd to the questions that emerged throughout the academic and professional life, in the face of inquiries about the difficulties of students in the contents covered in the teaching of mathematics and the questioning of their applicability. Assuming that the History of Mathematics can be inserted in the classroom, as well as raised in the field of academic research related to the theme. The History of Mathematics comes to contribute, in the different ways that can facilitate students learning, focusing on difficulties. In this way, we propose a qualitative research applied to the pedagogical intervention model that aims to develop a Didatic Sequence using the teaching of the Metric System having the History of Mathematics as a triggering resource for the production of mathematical meanings in Elementary II students, thus relating through from the construction of meanings, the concepts of the Metric Sistem, making it possible to instigate students’ curiosity in discovering the real importance of mathematics in their daily lives. The theoretical framework is based on the Semantic Fields Model (MCS), the History of Mathematics and trajectory since the beginning of time in the social context, and the Histirical Moviment of Measurement Units. The methodological procedures that will be adopted will follow the categorical notions, the activities to be carried out will start from the History of Mathematics, which have the purpose of triggering the production of meanings, in order to develop skills and abilities inherent to some concepts related to the Metric System. We intended to generate a Didactic Sequence with an educational product linked to the research, at the end of the sequence we carried out the culmination of the activities carried out on the students’ perception through a report presented in the form of a video called (Metric System History Drawing.
