Cisternas de placas para a captação e armazenamento das águas: uma abordagem matemática.

Abstract

The present work results from a research on the approach of the mathematical contents present in the plate cistern, in the perspective of the students of the 9th Year of Primary Education, of the João Marques-Capoeira Branch College, located in the Serra Branca-PB Rural Zone in Western Cariri. The objective of this research was to study the mathematics present in plate cisterns and their importance in the capture and utilization of rainwater in the semi - arid region of Paraíba. We approach the exploratory research to provide greater familiarity with the problem, making it more explicit, where it can be considered qualitative and quantitative, in which the data of the field research were obtained from interviews with the students, complemented with secondary data and non-participant observation semistructured. As soon as we approach the construction of cisterns, which in addition to constituting an activity of preservation and conservation of natural resources, we start from the reality of individuals living and living in the semi-arid region, emphasizing the importance of mathematical concepts in this development, addressing activities that led the students to perceive content that permeates everyday life in a meaningful way.
