Using a graphic calculator to promote a preservice teacher's didactic knowledge...

The initial teacher education courses for Mathematics aim to promote an adequate education in mathematics and mathematics didactics. Equally or even more important than this education is understanding how the preservice teacher should build new knowledge from the activities they undertake. Considering the teaching practicum, this study aims to understand the contribution of the graphic calculator that complies ...

A STEAM experience in the mathematics classroom: the role of a science cartoon

A multidisciplinary team collaborated on the development of a learning experience involving 10th grade students using a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) approach. The experience was based on the development (conception, implementation, and evaluation) of a science cartoon that aimed to highlight different scientific and technological dimensions related to the diversity of marine w...

Revisiting manipulatives in the learning of geometric figures

Over time, teaching materials, such as manipulatives, have acquired a key role in promoting students’ understanding of mathematical knowledge. These materials play an important resource in student learning, including a recreational role that promotes motivation and a dynamic role in the understanding of concepts in which students are involved in the learning activities. Based on these assumptions, this study ai...

The teaching of conic parabola: an approach via Intuitive Categories and Theory...

This work is the result of an experiment carried out during a master’s course in Brazil, which discusses the teaching of the parable and its particularities in the initial training of undergraduate students in Mathematics. With regard to the teaching of conics and, in particular, the parable from the perspective of Analytical Geometry, there are few applications seen in the classroom, both in Basic Education an...

Stories with History of Mathematics in the classroom for 1st Cycle of Basic Edu...

This study uses short stories with mathematics history by future teachers of the 1st cycle of basic education and how they propose to include them in the classroom. This study is exploratory, with ten first-year students of a Master’s course in Pre-school Education and 1st cycle of Portuguese basic education. After reading the stories, a task was implemented and solved in pairs. The participants found the stori...

Inclusion of daily life elements in recent textbooks: students’ motivation for ...

This paper focuses on the importance of students’ motivation to learn geometry. It focuses on the recent mathematics textbooks adopted for the school year 2022/23 and the integration of references to daily life and students’ experiences that can interest them and lead them to relate the subject contents to their daily lives. Based on the analysis of two new textbooks, we found that despite this integration, we ...

Investigative activities for statistics learning with 1st grade Portuguese stud...

The relevance of data exploration in mathematics programmes at all levels of education led us to develop a learning experience with 1st grade students with the aim of investigating the contribution of investigative activities in the learning of statistics. To achieve this objective, the following research questions were outlined: How do students implement investigative activities when learning statistics? What ...

Representations in the learning of sequences and regularities by third-grade Po...

Due to their abstract nature, representation of mathematical concepts through different registers favors their understanding. In the case of ‘‘sequences and regularities’’, it becomes propitious the exploration of different registers of representation in the institution of topics, such as term, order, formation law, and generating expression. Considering these assumptions, a teaching experiment was performed to...
