Resolução de problemas no ensino de matemática: uma abordagem prática sobre área e perímetro para professores da educação básica.

Abstract

This work describes an experience in the implementation of a workshop entitled “Problem Solving with a New Look’, which was part of an extension project developed in the Mathematics Teaching through Problem Solving curricular component. The workshop was conducted by future teachers of that subject, under the guidance of the teacher and used the Problem Solving methodology, which is an effective approach in teaching Mathematics. This work aims to present an experience in an extension project with the Problem Solving Methodology addressing the area and perimeter contents. The experience was carried out with basic education teachers and future teachers at the Federal University of Campina Grande – Campus Cuité. For this workshop, two problems were proposed: the first involving perimeter and the second area, following the steps of the RP methodology. With this, it was possible to observe and discuss different resolution strategies and learn a little about the reality of the professionals present. In view of all the stages of the workshop, it can be said that expectations were successfully met, highlighting the importance of extension projects for the training of future teachers. It is concluded that, given the participants' contributions, the workshop must be expanded to other audiences and that the sharing provided through dialogue is fundamental for teacher training. Furthermore, the university can provide more learning to teachers to contribute to their training
