Orientativo Didático para o uso do livro paradidático “Para que serve a matemática?” na perspectiva do Modelo dos Campos Semânticos.

Abstract

This educational product is part of the dissertation research of the Professional Master's Program of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás, Campus Jataí, entitled “The use of the textbook from the perspective of the Semantic Fields Model: a production of meanings for negative integers.” The Educational Product refers to a Teaching Guide for the use of the textbook “What is Mathematics for?” from the perspective of the Semantic Fields Model. The aim of this Teaching Guide is to integrate the book's narrative into mathematics teaching, providing teachers with tools to facilitate the mediation of activities and promote meaningful and contextualized learning, and to analyse how students produce mathematical meaning when solving the tasks presented in the book. The aim is to facilitate the contextualization of mathematics and its relationship with reading, interpretation, reflection and writing, using the Semantic Fields Model (SMM) as an epistemological reference. The structure of the book allows complex mathematical concepts to be taught in an accessible and engaging way, using stories and practical examples that capture students' interest and facilitate comprehension. In addition, the flexibility of the material allows it to be used by teachers at different levels of education to reinforce and deepen students' knowledge of negative integers, promoting a solid foundation for continued learning of mathematics. We hope that this work becomes a source of inspiration and opportunities for you, the teacher, to play your role in a meaningful way. That, like me, you can interact effectively with your students, transforming the classroom into a welcoming and interactive environment. This educational product was tested and evaluated over the course of eight meetings with a 1st grade class from a public school in the state of Mato Grosso and provides suggestions that can be used and adapted by other teachers from now on. May this Educational Product inspire new teaching practices and contribute to more dynamic and engaging teaching. Happy reading and excellent lessons!
