A geometria na construção Civil: uma aplicação em sala de aula.

Abstract

Our object was to propound the development of teaching materials that exploit the geometric concepts of area, perimeter and scale present in planning and setting of the plant and the model of a house, considering the knowledge of professionals who did not have high school. The research was accomplish with students of first year of High School Tercílio Cruz in Tacima city, Paraiba, for that we use authors to support us in consults about Manipulative Materials like Fiorentini (1995), Carvalho (1990) and Lorenzato (2006) about Visual Representations defended by Leivas (2009), and the idea of Concrete Materials defended by Passos (2006) and finally the PCN (BRAZIL, 1998) that encourages the use of teaching resources. In the achievement of the work the students were induced to observe and subsequently fabricate a ground floor plan and a mockup of a house, taking into account the knowledge of some construction professionals who had no high school. For data collection we propose four educational activities, based on Rodrigues's thesis (2013), in which the last activity was an evaluation questionnaire. The result showed beyond a lot of creativity and community, learning of geometric concepts in a practical and meaningful way, as well as awakening the relish for the contents they knew where it was used and such matters.
