O ensino de equação do 1º grau através da resolução de problemas.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze how students of the 7th year of elementary of the State Primary Education School and High School Bernardino Bento, in the municipality of Aguiar-PB, solve mathematical problems using the 1st degree equations. The research was crafted in an exploratory way and aims to provide the information, our research into the feasibility of development of work with methods, techniques and analyzed criteria. On the other hand, the investigations we adopt Da-to qualitative dimension, developing as an attempt to explain in depth the meaning and outcome characteristics of the information obtained through interviews or open questions. Also show that the procedure of problem solving is fundamental to motivate students to understand the content involving the 1st degree equation to solve problems. For that use some authors, Polya (1995), Van de Walle (2009), among others, as well as official documents of Education (BRASIL, 1998). It is important to understand that mathematics should be inserted through the Troubleshooting. Based tasks and activities in Troubleshooting is the vehicle through which to develop the desired curriculum. Learning is a result of troubleshooting process. With this study, we investigated the real possibilities of our theme relating Equation Grade 1 reporting content situations problems with this, we can identify the procedures and attitudes of students with regard to themes and discipline, students show well attracted by classes and thus able to identify the equations of knowledge of each. We observed that the students could better understand the equation content according to our theme presented.
