Ensino de fração com o software GeoGebra

Abstract

This paper deals with the results of the research entitled "Fraction Teaching with GeoGebra software". The same was done in three classes of the 6th year of elementary public school in the city of Manaus. The rational numbers are presented in fractional form and decimal, however, in our research we focus only on rational numbers in the fractional form, because it is pointed out by teachers, according to research, as one of the more complex to teach and learn in the math of the early grades. Decided on the mathematical content to be approached, we have resolved, in our action research, to use tools technologies, because we recognize their potential in the teaching and learning process, learning to do so, to outline the main objective of the research, to describe the influence of GeoGebra software in the learning of rational numbers among 6th grade students Elementary School. Although the research focused on the potential of GeoGebra in the classroom, it was not the only technological resource used. In the course of the work, we will explain the use we made of the Moodie platform for the organization of the Fraction course that we do at school. In Chapter 1, we describe the theory of learning which supported our action at school, the methodology, as well as the mathematical contents addressed in the sessions. In Chapter 2 we deal with the analysis of the results of the research, but before this we talk about field research, tests 01 and 02, the use of the Moodie platform, the details of the didactic sequences developed in the sessions, the intervention through the results of the diagnosis and, finally, the analysis of tests 01 and 02, as well as the general about the results question by question. Chapter 03 is dedicated to our conclusions and Chapter 04 we reserve the opportunity to discuss new questions that have arisen in the course of the research and that we express in the topic "Future works". Research has brought answers to our inquiries, because through the analysis of the data we can verify that the GeoGebra software is a tool with a lot of potential to contribute to the teaching and learning Fraction content. We hope that the discussions discussed in this paper can contribute to the reflection on the teaching and learning of rational numbers in the fractional form and that reach their greater objective: to contribute to the improvement in the Mathematics.
