A compreensão de grande parte dos conceitos de álgebra linear exige um nível de abstração que quase sempre os estudantes do primeiro ano das licenciaturas de engenharia têm dificuldade em atingir. É consensual que se a sala de aula corresponder a um espaço dinâmico, onde os estudantes têm a oportunidade de interagir e de manipular os objetos em estudo, tal favorece o desenvolvimento de raciocínios que levam à i...
No âmbito do Projeto Escolas Transformadoras (https://www.escolas-transformadoras.fgs.org.pt/) e das comemorações do Dia Internacional da Matemática 2025, desafiaram-se duas turmas de estudantes da formação inicial de professores a dinamizar, para a comunidade educativa, uma tarde com a matemática. Porém, as tarefas a desenvolver deveriam explorar a matemática associada a diferentes países, dado que a instituiç...
Linear algebra is part of the curriculum of most engineering courses. However, many students’ difficulties in this area and the heterogeneity of their mathematical knowledge pose significant challenges for teachers. In this context, more personalized and interactive learning is needed to help overcome individual difficulties and promote autonomy in constructing knowledge. Technological platforms such as MathE a...
The link with the real working environment, combined with the sharing of knowledge and collaboration between students from different courses, was the basis of a teaching experience involving students from the Mechanical Technology I course unit of the Mechanical Engineering degree course and the Safety and Environment course unit of the Higher Professional Technical Course in Sustainable Technologies in Mechani...
As escolas são cada vez mais multiculturais, já que abarcam estudantes oriundos de diferentes regiões e países. Face a este contexto, desafiaram-se os estudantes de um curso de formação de professores a explorar a matemática dos países deles ou dos colegas da instituição. Nesta comunicação, pretende-se descrever a experiência realizada e refletir sobre a importância deste tipo de tarefas no âmbito da aprendizag...
A presença nas escolas portuguesas de alunos oriundos de diferentes culturas, países e regiões transforma o espaço escolar num ambiente multicultural, ideal para partilhar saberes, perspetivas e experiências. Esta diversidade, embora constitua um desafio para a gestão da sala de aula, pode ser uma fonte de oportunidades para explorar tarefas matemáticas que contribuam para a integração dos alunos e para a valor...
Several studies point to the importance of teachers creating learning environments that involve students more in the construction and communication of knowledge. On the other hand, digital technologies can be used as didactics tools to improve learning. To promote the development of skills in the area of linear algebra, more specifically in the context of linear transformations, we chose to propose an activity ...

As part of the Higher Professional Technical Course in Civil Construction at a Polytechnic Higher Education Institution, a teaching experience was proposed in which the Technical Installations and Sustainability Practices in Construction course units were taught interconnectedly. The studentsmobilized the knowledge acquired in the first-course unit to carry out practical work on more sustainable solutions in bu...
