Geometria espacial: a aprendizagem através de diferentes recursos didáticos

Abstract

This research aims to present a possible path for the development of visualization skills, as well as to verify how these resources can help in the development of spatial geometric thinking in high school, in a perspective of significant learning. Considering that the visualization skill is the starting point for the teaching and learning process of geometry, we propose didactic support in concrete (geometric solids) and virtual (GeoGebra 3D) manipulative materials, also seeking to work within an interdisciplinary context with Arts and History, we develop activities using geometric arts, to review concepts of Flat Geometry, and activities based on the construction of models, being inspired by the works of Oscar Niemeyer. The present work was developed with students from a 2nd year high school class at Colégio Estadual João Kopke in Engenheiro Paulo de Frontin (RJ), and we observed that the use of models and geometric arts brought meaning to the study of Geometry, which the manipulation of geometric solids helped in the development of visualization, as well as, GeoGebra, bringing innovation and encouraging students to learn. A didactic sequence was elaborated as a product of this research, with diversified activities making use of the resources used in this work, however undergoing some adjustments
