Teatro e Matemática no Mesmo Palco: A Produção de Significados Matemáticos

Abstract

The present work made an articulation between theater and mathematical education through Digital Mathematical Performances (PMD), understood as performances that express mathematical ideas using digital communication technologies. The research analyzed the production of mathematical meanings, which students expressed when they watched and or produced a PMD. For this, activities were carried out with students of the ninth grade of Elementary School II, in a school in the state teaching network of Jataí, GO. The activities in the form of workshops introduced the scenic language using theatrical games, with the purpose of building the performances that were filmed for the production of the PMDs, in which the themes related to Mathematics were pointed out by the students. The approach of this research is qualitative, based on data collection techniques for the constitution of study material. At the beginning of activities and at the end of all procedures, interviews were conducted with students. The data of this research are composed of field diaries, filming and photography of the meetings, the produced PMDs and the interviews with the participating students. The theoretical foundation regarding the Semantic Fields Model, the PMDs and the relationship between theater and Mathematics Education contributed to the construction and analysis of the data. This work showed us how to articulate the subjectivities of each student when developing artistic skills with creativity, range of exercises, games and games that, intertwined with education, leads students to manifestations of protagonism
